I am a lawyer who is going to run for judge of the Court of Common Pleas in the election for 2023. The time to file my campaign account and file the appropriate election papers for my campaign is the day after the General Election in November 2022. What should I know about my campaign committee?

The most important part of a campaign committee is for the judge or judicial candidate to have competent staff to handle the campaign reports. Normally, the opening of a campaign committee is very simple. The forms obtained from the Department of State are two pages. A treasurer and campaign reporter have to be appointed. Often, those people are prominent and really do not do the work. Usually, there is an assistant treasurer. The assistant treasurer has the main responsibility to handle and report the funds.
