Campaign Internship Opportunities: Campaign Manager, Data Analyst
Professor O'Neil,
I hope this email finds you well and that you're having a
good start to the school year. We have a few positions available for fall
campaign internships. We're also considering an internship position doing
election-related research work directly with our firm. I've attached
descriptions for both positions (below); please feel free to post on the blog and/or
forward to any interested students.
Thanks and best wishes,
Nic Van Putten
Campaign Manager

Unpaid internship
Position Description:
The campaign manager will work directly with a
candidate for local or state-level office while under the supervision of the
campaign consultant. The intern’s
primary job is to help the candidate maximize their time spent with voters and
in fundraising. Responsibilities will
include tracking and organizing fundraising, event logistics, managing
volunteers, data entry, doorbelling and phonebanking. A reliable form of transportation may be
necessary depending on the campaign and intern’s location. Some campaign related experience is preferred
– volunteer experience is fine – but more importantly, we’re looking for
someone with energy and a passion for getting involved in local politics.

complex databases in excel, and apply statistical methods to analyze
information. If interested, the intern
will also have the opportunity to learn about voter micro-targeting in state
and local level elections. This is a
research-intensive position, so applicants should have a passion for data,

Subject: Internship Opportunity in Olympia for Your Students
Professor Fields,
The Washington State Legislative Intern Program is currently accepting applications for the 2016 Legislative Session (January – March 2016). We are including a link to our new Internship video. It gives a great explanation of the program and features several interns from the 2015 Legislative Session. We encourage you to share the video with your students, forward to other faculty, and post on your websites. We purposely kept it at four minutes so that it can easily be shown at the beginning or end of class.
The Washington State Legislative Intern Program is a great opportunity for undergraduate juniors and seniors from all majors to learn the legislative process while gaining professional work experience. Interns are placed in offices with similar interests. Several interns per year are assigned to the Republican and Democrat caucus communication departments where they assist in the writing of floor speeches, op-ed pieces, talking points, and newsletters. This is a paid internship
Please encourage anyone interested in the program to visit our web page or contact us with their questions. They can also follow us on Twitter and Facebook
Applications for the 2016 Legislative Session are due October 16. Information on the application process is available on our website.
Thank you for your help in promoting this opportunity to your students
