I working on a campaign for someone running for the State House here in Colorado....the only advice I can give is to DO IT. If you've never done it before, the committee can find out what strengths you bring, and help you use those strengths for the candidate - whether it be phones, mailings, walking, etc....all of it is important (my function has been speechwriting and other communications functions).
It will be an education unlike any you'll ever get in school!
Also, if you are representing a candidate who is not of the "popular" party in your area (picture Pat Buchanan running for an office in Massachusetts.....) also be willing to develop a tough skin, and have your messages memorized well - stick to the issues and the messages, and avoid the personal attacks that WILL occur...just apologize for disturbing someone and move on.
