Campaigns & Elections is a practical online journal of political campaigns, focused on tools, tactics and techniques of the political consulting profession. It was founded by Stanley Foster Reed in the spring of 1980: he described its purpose as: "In political campaigns and in business, it is management that makes the difference. Management of resources: money, media, people. That's what Campaigns & Elections is all about, and will be about: how to manage the hundreds of millions of dollars that are annually poured into political campaigns. C&E is and will continue to be a 'how-to' journal...."[1] Its headquarters is in Arlington, Virginia.[2]

Campaigns & Elections is an exclusively digital publication.[3] It also has an auxiliary website, The Political Pages, a comprehensive annual directory of political firms and professionals.[3]

Conferences and Events

The magazine also runs conferences and events focusing on political campaign skills and technology. Their "Art of Political Campaigning" is a two-day conference[4] taking place every summer, covering all aspects of political campaigning. The conference has been running in various formats for over 30 years.[5] CampaignTech East is an annual two day conference focusing on the digital aspects of political campaigning .[6]
