P&G alum Nic Van Putten runs a local political consulting firm. He is seeking part-time interns for a city council campaign (paid!) and a local organization that does fieldwork in Pierce County. Here is his message and contact information:
David,
Thank you for posting my previous message on the Politics Blog site; I received a few good responses and look forward to working with your students.
I currently have two part-time internship position still available. I have a Tacoma City Council candidate who is looking to hire a paid intern part-time through November, and a left-leaning Political Action Committee that focuses on field work in Pierce County looking for an intern with the potential for a full-time paid position down the road. We're looking to fill these spots as soon as possible and would love to have a recent graduate or current UPS student able to work through the fall. There may be other paid and intern opportunities as the election season progresses, so I hope to stay in touch.
