David,
I graduated two years ago from the Politics department and have been doing campaign work and political consulting in the Pierce County area since. This year, I started a firm with my business partner called Progressive Strategies NW. We do political consulting work for Democrats in the Tacoma area and will have a few job opportunities for students or recent graduates interested in getting their feet wet in local politics.
Later in the election season, we'll be looking for paid campaign managers for school board, city council, and bond measure races. Right now, we have an immediate need for a graphic artist to help design campaign material. We're looking for someone who is tech-savvy with a passion for politics and progressive candidates. This would be a part-time (5-10 hours) position that could easily work around a class schedule. I don't know if you have any students who are double majors in PG and Computer Science or Art, but if you know of anyone interested who you would recommend, we would love an opportunity to interview them.
Feel free to forward this email or my contact information to anyone who may be interested, or to give me a call any time.
Thanks and best wishes,
~Nic Van Putten
