Honorable Mentions

The Top Ten were chosen on three basic criteria:

1. The stature of the candidates for whom they have worked
2. The roles they have served in, either by appointment or election
3. The overall network they have been able to assemble

The following people are those that were considered very strongly for the top ten but either lacked one of the three criteria or were not as strong as those that made the list.  We still hold these individuals in high regard and believe they have proven to be tremendous operatives and possibly candidates themselves in time.  

Again, these are not ranked by importance but rather alphabetically.
