J-term internship in Denver on U.S. Senate campaign
Middlebury alum Diana Bray ‘82 is running for the 2020 Democratic nomination for what is considered the most flippable US Senate seat in the country – the US Senate seat held by Cory Gardner in Colorado. Diana is looking for up to 4 student interns to work at an intensive political internship over the course of J-term. Students interested in politics, the environment, sustainability, health care, reducing gun violence, racial inequity and immigrant rights would be a good fit.
Tasks will include managing social media, field outreach, both online and in-person, strategizing about messaging, event planning, editing written work – i.e. op-eds, participating in climate actions, and more. Diana’s team is small, grass- roots and dedicated, so this experience will be much more hands on than a typical campaign.
No prior political experience is needed – just a passion for the progressive issues that Diana is advocating for. This internship is in Denver. If you do not have housing, Diana can provide. The hours will be approximately 40/week but there is flexibility. If you want to spend some time skiing, yes, there will be time for that as well!
Apply in Handshake HERE. Deadline extended until November 15.
