2019 MDLCC Director Position Description
The Montana Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (MDLCC), the wing of the Montana Democratic Party (MDP) that works to elect Democrats to the Montana State Legislature, would like to announce an opening for the position of MDLCC Director. This demanding, full-time position will work closely with MDLCC's Steering Committee, Caucus Leadership and Members, State Party, candidates, allies, and current MDLCC and Party staff to formulate and execute plans for the 2020 cycle and beyond.
MDLCC has grown steadily over the past six years. It is now a year-round, permanent program within the Montana Democratic Party, with a budget of $350,000 and 2-3 full- time staff in an off-cycle year and just under $1,000,000 budget with over 40 full and part-time staff in an election year. It is a professional program poised to grow even more as donors and organizations across the state invest in a more Democratic legislature. Applicants must have a strong passion for legislative elections and an ability to lead a professional organization.
