ABSTRACT
Win or lose, there are many things a campaign manager must do to his campaign to bed. However, before taking down lawn signs, bundling stakes or H-wickets, paying bills, finishing reports for the state, closing out bank accounts, and reassembling house, the campaign manager must first face Election Night. The most common feeling among volunteers of a losing campaign is "What a waste of time that was". Lending money to campaign sends the wrong message to the voting public. A campaign that is chronically short of funds is a sure sign of one that is in trouble. Nevertheless, it happens, and when it does the candidate, with the help of the campaign team and manager, to retire the debt. The simplest and most cost-effective way is to review all individuals who contributed previously and email those campaign manager knows personally, whether he is the candidate, the campaign manager, or part of the team.
