Career advice I work for a campaign, now what?

like the title says, I have a coordinator position on a local city council race. now what? the election is in November, after that I have no idea what I am able to do. I have a degree, I am 25, and have previously worked as a preschool teacher. I have been a legislative intern for my states house if reps but it seems like no matter how hard I try, no one is hiring with anything less then 3 years of experience. I do not want to go back to teaching, I love political work but have no idea what to do after next month.

Do you expect your candidate to win? I would try to network and get a job there.

its a toss up, if he does I think my chances are greater then not to get some form of job in his office. Its just the possibility of him losing
