15.10. Linking a Legislator to Their Committee

Linking a legislator record to their campaign committee's record is often required for compliance reports. To create a link between those two records, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the committee record.
2. On that record page, expand the Committee Staff section and click the Add New Staff button.
3. Search for the legislator record and then click the Select button.
4. On the following window, enter a start date. This can be any date, as it doesn't pull to any compliance reports. Either the date an incumbent took office, or the date a candidate announced their candidacy are typically used here.
5. Note that entering an end date is optional.
6. Select Candidate from the Contact type drop-down.
7. Click Add.
