Campaign jobs

Paying jobs, that is.

Amanda Litman knows a lot more than me, The rest of this section is just a couple observations of mine.

Few campaign web sites actually include job listings. Jon Ossoff’s is one notable exception that I found. All the jobs listed as I write this are on site in Atlanta.

Some campaigns list jobs on Arena or Progressive Pipeline.  Those sites also have listings for private sector, nonprofits, etc. It’s worth looking at the other sites listed below under Private sector / nonprofit jobs too; I haven’t looked carefully at all of them.

There is a DNC Talent Bank that lets you submit your resume to a database, which all the Democratic campaigns can search when they need particular skills. I submitted a couple months ago (summer 2026) and haven’t heard from anyone.

In many cases, you may have to proactively contact the campaign asking about jobs. I’ve heard that showing up at their headquarters and talking to whoever will listen can be effective.

I suspect that many people hired by campaigns started out as volunteers.
