17.2: Local Activists
Hire of locals who are known to be active in a particular area for participation in field operations. Other Information:
Where possible, the RNC should encourage and support the hiring of locals who are known to be active in a particular area
for participation in field operations. The Obama campaign excelled in recruiting and training operatives who understood the
states and communities where they were working. This enabled their field operation to interact in a more personal manner with
voters. It is important for the RNC to strive to cultivate a roster of field operatives who are from the battleground states
and/or well-versed in the unique politics and culture of each one.
