Paid Positions: Field Organizer and Campaign Manager

Professor O'Neil,

We have two more races that are looking for interns right now. Both of which will be hiring in May for full time Field Organizer and Campaign Manager roles respectively; students interested in the paid positions- particularly those without campaign experience so far- are highly encouraged to apply for the internships. These internships will be similar to the position I saw posted on the blog by the HDCC but would be working directly for the candidates instead of the caucus.

Thanks,
Nic Van Putten

No previous campaign experience is required, but a passion and interest in politics is a must. We are able to work with the student and university if the intern is seeking course credit for the position.
