Summary: Progressive AF is a brand new start-up PAC founded in August 2020 working to elect progressives running in overlooked red to blue races. We quit our jobs and founded Progressive AF to focus on Georgia this cycle because we knew it would be competitive and the decisive state for the Senate. If you want to stop McConnell from being Majority Leader, join us as we focus on supporting Warnock and Ossoff on January 5th.
We are hiring a National Communications Director to start ASAP that has at least two cycles of experience managing earned and paid media, one cycle of on-the-record experience, and who is interested in leading the charge on innovation. We are a data-driven PAC run by millennials and we need YOU to earn the support of voters and tell the entire country about our work. We are all adapting to the ever-changing landscape of national politics – we need someone who is not stuck in the past and is willing to learn and adapt with us!
