Well first, separate the $100k fee and being elected, because the two have different criteria.

Specifically the $100k fee is based almost entirely on her ability to draw achieve the desired result for the organization hiring her. In the most recent case, it was the ability to sell tickets & therefore raise money, so look no further than that on that part. How she does it (within the confines of the broader goals of an organization at least) is pretty much irrelevant.

Now the second part is tougher.
