I have been asked to head the PR for a local political campaign. The candidates are running for - Mayor, and two Trustees. I have done a great deal of work in this area before and have never had my candidates lose the race. I'm very comfortable taking this job, but the problem lies in that I have a hard time setting a payment price. I am a very giving person and often find myself not asking for payment when it's due. This is a big deal though and I am putting a lot of time into the campaign.
I know I deserve compensation but how do I determine the price and then present it to the candidates?

Ask around. How much do campaign managers make in comparable districts? How much do they make if they never lose?!

The above link talks about Arnold the Californian gov's managers salary, it's huge.
When I started blowing glass I got a great piece of advice, Art is subjective, put the price you want on your artwork and it will be paid, do not apologize for your prices.
Campaigning is an art, how much is it worth for that person to win, how much is your no-loss record worth, Do you get a bonus if they win?
What would you be happy with?
Write up a contract with an L&E lawyers help. Politicians are not known for being very honest. Have the contract signed and filed before you start working.

it certainly relies upon on in case you define the fetus as being someone, with the rights that ought to accompany that selection. i think that if abortion is criminal, then the government is defining human rights as initiating at start, which i detect thrilling as a results of fact different issues that ought to ensue to a bobbing up fetus mutually as interior the womb, ought to influence its lifestyles invariably. i'm on the fence on all variations of the abortion situation. i will make certain the two factors, and characteristic a complicated time making up my ideas no count if it relatively is "sensible" or no longer. i assume a parallel arguement ought to be, in case you are the only well-being care provider in a community, and the instant surgical treatment of two persons is needed quickly, how do you make certain which one to shop, and whose selection ought to that be?

what do you feel your time is worth? I think only you can really answer your question...and once you make up your mind ensure that you have an agreement in writing from those you are helping...so they won't feel that you "donated" your time, and it makes asking for payment that much easier.
