Every candidate for a federal election is required to create a campaign committee , and this committee must have a chairman and a treasurer who is someone other than the candidate. The chairman and treasurer can be the same person or two different people. The treasurer's job is to maintain the campaign's financial records and make sure that no one misuses campaign funds. She keeps things organized, manages records, fields phone calls, etc. As the campaign gears up in January 2000 the committee will also hire a campaign manager and other staff members, growing to a staff size of 5 or 6.
Most campaigns also have a finance committee which is part of the campaign committee.
In Brack's case the finance committee currently consists of 60 or so friends and supporters who are willing to help raise funds for him. The finance committee members create fund raising events and talk to people they know looking for money to support the candidate. And that line will always be in the candidate's voice. This line is like a signature on any ad run by the campaign, and it is required by the FEC on all ads that the committee funds. Inc. All rights reserved.
