Help make sure no Republican gets a free pass into office!
Every year, hundreds of thousands of elections for public office go uncontested nationwide. Contest Every Race, a project incubated within Movement Labs, recruits regular people with good values to run for office in red and purple states, so we compete everywhere while building the Dem bench and helping get out the vote.
We're hiring a Political Research Team Coordinator to lead and drive our research projects, complete research on upcoming elections, incumbents, and candidates, and compile information on qualifications and filing requirements. You’ll lead a team of passionate volunteers who search online and make hundreds of phone calls to county and municipal election officials. You’ll also coordinate with our data and operations teams to turn our research into results, helping our prospective candidates succeed in filing to run for office.
This job is a great way to make a real difference in American politics from anywhere in the US. We've recruited over 5000 candidates and plan to double our impact in the coming years. You can grow with us as a key member of a small, distributed team, led by people with high-level experience.
