About You
You love a lot of moving pieces and can manage multiple projects at any given time. You love checking things off your list and finding creative ways to get things done. Above all, you have an enthusiasm for progressive politics and electing Democrats at all levels of the ballot.
You are organized, self-motivated and able to complete projects both individually and as a part of a team. You have the ability and willingness to take on and complete large, complex projects that require significant time investment as well as a number of smaller, more administrative tasks.
