Some of Hillary Clinton's top aides said Wednesday that they will forgo pay for February to help conserve cash. In January, about a dozen of Rudy Giuliani's senior staffers also volunteered to go unpaid for the month as the campaign headed toward critical primaries. And last summer, as John McCain ran low on funds, the senator had to let go dozens of workers and aides. So, how much do campaign staffers make?
More than they did four years ago. The campaigns have raised record amounts of money during this election cycle$583 million in 2007 alone, compared with a total of $880 million for the entire '04 campaign and $529 million for the '00 contest. Patti Solis Doyle, Clinton's campaign manager, volunteered her services for February, but she was paid $41,000 for the last quarter of 2007, according to campaign reportsgiving her an annual salary of $164,000. (This is about 10 percent more than Gore's top staffers were getting in 2004.) McCain's chief of staff, Mark Salter, had a $200,000 salary from the campaign at one point. Beth Meyers, Romney's campaign manager, had been paid $100,000 annually as of last year, while the candidate's finance director, Spencer Zwick, was getting $25,000 a month. Full-time speechwriters make $50,000 to $90,000, though campaigns may bring in outside help at $15,000 per speech.
