What it is

CampaignBase connects experienced political consultants with first-time candidates running for city council, school board, and other local offices. These candidates rarely have the budget for a full-time strategist — the Consultant Network gives them access to expert, one-on-one guidance for the specific moments where it matters most, and gives you a steady stream of clients without any of the overhead of finding them yourself.

How the economics work

Candidates pay $100/hour

A flat, transparent rate for every consulting session booked through the platform.

You earn $75/hour

CampaignBase keeps a 25% platform fee to cover payments, scheduling, and marketing to candidates.

Sessions via video call

No travel required. Meet with candidates wherever they are, on your own schedule.

No invoicing or chasing payments

Candidates pay upfront when they book. We handle billing — you just show up and help.
