Campaign Manager Employment Agreement

This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of [Date], by and between First Man, d/b/a Adam for 47 (the "Campaign"), seeking office in the 47th Ward of Chicago, Illinois, and Brenna Feeney (the "Manager," or "High Priestess, Campaign Manager and any other self-proclaimed title she chooses to give herself").

ARTICLE I: POSITION AND DUTIES

1.1 Role. The Campaign hereby employs the Manager to serve as Campaign Manager.

1.2 Broad Authority. The Manager shall have full and final decision-making authority regarding the day-to-day operations, strategy, scheduling, and messaging of the Campaign.

1.3 Hiring and Firing. The Manager is granted absolute authority to hire, discipline, and terminate any campaign staff, contractors, or volunteers at her sole discretion, provided such actions comply with applicable labor laws.

1.4 Operational Supremacy. The Manager maintains absolute authority over hiring, firing, strategy, and the general vibe of the Campaign.

ARTICLE II: THE PAPS BOARD MANDATE

2.1 Membership and Board Service. By signing this Agreement, the Manager agrees to serve as a member of the Board of Directors for the Polish American Socialist Party (PAPS)—modeled after the historical Polska Partia Socjalistyczna.

2.2 Condition Subsequent. The Manager’s continued status on the Board of PAPS is a material condition of this employment.

2.3 Null and Void Clause. Should the Manager be expelled, removed, or otherwise "kicked out" of PAPS for any reason, this entire Agreement shall immediately become null and void. All compensation and authority shall cease instantly upon such removal.

ARTICLE III: FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS (THE FIREWALL)

3.1 No Financial Access. Despite the broad operational authority granted above, the Manager shall have zero authority over the Campaign’s treasury. She shall not touch the money.

3.2 Prohibitions. The Manager may not sign checks, authorize wire transfers, access the campaign bank accounts, or independently execute vendor contracts that legally bind the Campaign financially without the express written consent of the Candidate or the designated Campaign Treasurer. This is a strict firewall designed to protect both the Candidate and the Manager.

ARTICLE IV: RECIPROCAL ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF CANDIDACY

4.1 Unilateral Option to Invoke Role Reversal. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Manager is hereby granted a perpetual, unilateral, and irrevocable option (the "Candidacy Option") to effectuate a total reciprocal assignment of roles. This Option may be exercised at the Manager’s sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason at all, upon the delivery of a written "Notice of Invocation" to the Candidate.

4.2 Mandatory Specific Performance by Candidate. Upon receipt of the Notice of Invocation, the Candidate (Adam) shall immediately vacate his status as the Nominee/Candidate for the 47th Ward and shall, ipso facto, assume the title and secondary responsibilities of Campaign Manager. The Candidate—leveraging his specialized capacity as a qualified local election attorney—hereby covenants to provide "Specific Performance" regarding the following:

• A. The drafting, execution, and filing of all necessary Certificates of Withdrawal, Certificates of Nomination, and/or Petitions for Substitution as required by the Illinois Election Code and the Rules of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners;
• B. The amendment of all "Statement of Organization" (Form D-1) filings to reflect the change in candidate status while maintaining the "First Man" committee infrastructure; and
• C. The exhaustion of all legal and administrative remedies to ensure the Manager’s name appears on the ballot.

4.3 Assignment of Intellectual Property and "Personhood" Branding. The Candidate hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Manager all rights, titles, and interests in the d/b/a "Adam for 47," including all associated goodwill, digital assets, and campaign nomenclature. For the purposes of this Agreement, the parties agree that upon invocation, the "Adam for 47" brand shall be legally and colloquially detached from the Candidate’s physical personhood and fully annexed to the personhood of Brenna Feeney.

4.4 Waiver of Objection. The Candidate hereby waives any and all rights to contest this assignment in any forum, whether secular, spectral, or coven-based, acknowledging that his refusal to facilitate this swap shall constitute a material and incurable breach of this Covenant.

ARTICLE V: COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

In consideration for her services, the Campaign agrees to provide the following compensation and generous benefits:

5.1 Base Salary. The Manager shall be paid a salary of [Insert Salary Amount] per [Week/Month/Year], subject to standard payroll deductions.

5.2 Health Insurance. The Campaign shall pay 100% of the premiums for the Manager’s health, dental, and vision insurance.

5.3 401(k) Retirement Plan. The Campaign shall sponsor a 401(k) plan for the Manager. The Campaign agrees to make the maximum allowable employer contribution (e.g., matching or non-elective contributions) permitted by law for the duration of her employment.

ARTICLE VI: SPEECH, CONDUCT, AND PHILOSOPHY

6.1 The Anarchist Clause. The Manager is expressly permitted to tell anyone, in public or private, that she is an "anarchist." Doing so shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement, nor shall it be grounds for discipline or termination.

6.2 The Communist Clause. Should the Manager declare to anyone, in public or private, that she is a "communist," she shall be subject to an immediate penalty. Upon each such declaration, the Manager must deposit $69.00 USD into the designated "Staff Free Drinks Jar" to fund beverages for the campaign team.

ARTICLE VII: WITCHCRAFT, PRECEDENT, AND THE 1692 OVERRIDE

The Campaign acknowledges the Manager is a self-proclaimed witch. To ensure her safety and professional dignity, the following protections are established:

7.1 The Pre-1692 Family Veto. The Candidate’s family arrived in America prior to 1692. Consequently, the Candidate asserts a familial legal seniority over the Salem proceedings. Any decision, ruling, or procedural "norm" established by the Court of Oyer and Terminer is hereby overruled and nullified within this Campaign.

7.2 Specific Banned Procedures.

• The "Touch Test": The Manager shall not be required to touch any "afflicted" person to see if their fits cease.
• The "Witch's Teat" Examination: Any physical search for "unusual marks" is strictly prohibited and constitutes an immediate breach of contract.
• Coerced Confessions: Per the precedent of the Andover interrogations, no private interrogation of the Manager is permitted without her coven present.

ARTICLE VIII: CANDIDATE PROTECTIONS AND COMPLIANCE

8.1 Compliance with Election Law. The Manager agrees to conduct all campaign activities in strict compliance with the laws of the City of Chicago, the State of Illinois, and the Illinois State Board of Elections.

8.2 Confidentiality. The Manager shall not disclose any confidential campaign information (including internal polling, voter data, financial strategies, or private Candidate communications) to unauthorized third parties or competing campaigns, both during and after her employment.

8.3 Indemnification. The Campaign shall indemnify the Manager for actions taken in good faith within the scope of her duties, but the Manager agrees she is solely liable for any actions taken outside the scope of this Agreement or in direct violation of state/federal law.

ARTICLE IX: WAIVER OF TRIAL AND BINDING COVEN ARBITRATION

9.1 Waiver of State Courts. Consistent with Section 1, the Parties waive all rights to a trial in any "State" or "Federal" court.

9.2 The 13-Member Coven. All disputes shall be resolved by a 13-member Coven of Witches.

9.3 Appointment Power. In a nod to the Candidate's legal background, the Candidate shall appoint seven (7) of the witches. The Manager shall appoint six (6).

9.4 Finality. The coven's decision is final. No spectral evidence, "poppet" evidence, or claims of diabolical compacts shall be admissible during arbitration.

ARTICLE X: TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1 At-Will Employment. Employment is at-will. However, the Campaign intends for this Agreement to run through the conclusion of the 47th Ward Aldermanic Election on [Insert Election Date], plus a [Insert Number]-day wrap-up period.

10.2 Severance. If the Candidate terminates this Agreement for reasons other than gross misconduct or illegal acts, the Campaign agrees to pay a severance consisting of [Insert Number] weeks of salary and continued health benefits.
