Chief of Staff
The candidate or legislator’s right-hand person is his or her chief of staff. This is the most important job in the office, and the chief of staff oversees hiring, office management, budgeting, administration, and operations, and is the top advisor on everything political.
All office functions and most staff reporting in a legislator’s office are through the chief of staff who reports directly to the legislator. If your long-term career goal is to earn a spot as a chief of staff, you’ll need to work your way up the career ladder gaining plenty of legislative experience along the way.
参谋长
候选人或立法者的得力助手是他或她的参谋长。 这是办公室最重要的工作，参谋长负责监督招聘、办公室管理、预算、行政和运营，并且是所有政治事务的最高顾问。
立法者办公室的所有办公室职能和大多数工作人员都通过直接向立法者报告的参谋长进行报告。 如果您的长期职业目标是获得一个参谋长的职位，那么您需要在职业阶梯上一路攀升，在此过程中获得大量立法经验。
