      I reached out to some Congressional campaigns I know to find out the rough costs of things they spend money on. Obviously this depends a lot on location and media market, but here's a numbers thread to at least give you some sense of expenses:

      - an experienced rural field director (the person in charge of volunteers, canvassing, turnout operations, filling your town halls) will run you $55K - a regional organizing director (the next level of management down) costs $35K - the next rung down, field organizer, is $25K

      A campaign with a solid field program would need 1 director, four regional directors, and 16 field organizers, for a total field budget of ~$600K. If you run this program exceptionally well, you might turn out 15k votes that you otherwise would not have had.

      Lots of places in the rural U.S. have a high Latino population that is very underrepresented in voter turnout. American agriculture runs on Latino labor. Hiring an experienced outreach director to this community costs about $60K.

          Have a big college town or other potential source of new voters in your district? Again for rural places, a serious voter registration drive will cost something like $150k.

          You need to pay your state Democratic party for access to the voter database called NGP VAN. Pricing on this varies by type of race and by state, a Congressional candidate might expect to pay $10,000

          It costs money to print stuff for volunteers to pass out, posters, lawn signs, pretty glossy cards and so on. A typical budget for that might be $60K. That is also the cost of doing a single district-wide mailing in a big rural district (like CA-1, say).

          And of course, advertising will absorb any amount of money you care to pour into it. All together, a real Cadillac of a rural Democratic campaign, with a full field program, Latino and student outreach, and lots of voter registration, would run $4-$6M.

          That is a serious amount of money, but a pittance compared to even local races in places like Boston or L.A, let alone Presidential campaigns. And it's real money for our candidates on the Great Slate! We've raised over $300K this quarter, let's do more!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …
