I met the candidate through a veteran's issues forum and was soon hired on as a fundraiser to help the campaign reach it's fundraising goals.  During my first week I asked the candidate if he wanted me to reach out to my contacts - was there any sort of publicity (radio, podcasts, written articles) he was steering away from?
