political consultant
Election strategy expert
A political consultant advises candidates, parties, or campaigns on strategy—messaging, advertising, polling, opposition research, and voter outreach.
Consultants often specialize: media consultants handle ads, field consultants organize ground operations.
The term carries connotations of professional calculation over genuine conviction: The candidate's handlers were all DC political consultants.
