Internships

A couple of internships have come to our attention:

1. Darcy Burner for Congress

Darcy Burner is a Progressive Democrat running against Republican Dave Reichert in the 8th Congressional District. This race is top-tier and nationally targeted, ranked as one of the most winnable Republican seats in the House of Representatives by the DCCC. We are seeking interns for summer quarter.

Position: Intern
Interns will assist field organizers working in targeted legislative districts throughout King and Pierce Counties. They will assist in organizing and mobilizing constituents in the 8th district with the objective of turning the district blue in '06. Interns will assist in organizing grassroots activities such as phone banking and canvassing, as well as planning and attending community and campaign events and fundraisers. Internships are unpaid, but do offer college credit.

Position: Volunteer
Volunteer opportunities also available for occasional nights and weekends.

Qualifications:
Sound communication and motivational skills, work ethic, and desire for political change are essential. Interns must be highly motivated and driven.

Auburn, WA

2. David Edwards for State Representative, Oregon

My name is Seth Prickett and I am the Campaign Manager for David Edwards (D), a candidate for State Representative in Hillsboro, Oregon (District 30). I am currently looking for interested, enthusiastic, students who are looking to gain some valuable work experience working as an intern for this campaign.

I was hoping you would be willing and able to take a few minutes and inform your classes of this great opportunity. We are flexible and would be willing to work with student's schedules during the summer months. The internship would last from June until August, or whenever students have to go back to school in the fall.

There is a lot to do. Interns will not only be stuffing envelopes, but be highly involved and see how a campaign really works from the inside out. (I always hated doing internships where you were just used as slave labor to process mail pieces). Please have your interested students visit our website: www.Edwards2006.com to find out more about David.

Please have interested students contact:
