This opportunity is brought to us by a Carleton alum, Tom Nelson ’98. You are welcome to reach out to Irene Lin at irene@nelsonforwi.com with any questions regarding the organization or the position prior to applying.
Nelson for Wisconsin (U.S. Senate)
Tom Nelson, Class of 1998 Carleton College, was a Bernie delegate in 2020 who’s won election 6x in a red county. He helped save a local paper mill with the power of unions here in Wisconsin.
Tom Nelson for U.S. Senate 2022 is seeking enthusiastic and hard-working people for a great progressive candidate. We are working to maintain voter excitement post-Nov. 3rd and engage Wisconsinites to defeat Ron Johnson. We will hire interns on a rolling and ongoing basis to assist with our daily operations. Interns will be responsible for helping to support the various facets of our campaign.
They are as follows:
- Field and Organizing
- Political Data/Targeting
- Volunteer and Voter Outreach
- Operations
- Research
- Administrative
- Finance
- Social Media and Communications
- Graphic Design and other creative skills
The ideal candidate must be high energy, efficient, well-organized, and be able to think on his/her feet, and be a team player. We are looking for people who can multitask, work well with deadlines and under pressure, and are strongly committed to progressive ideals. Candidates with excellent oral and written communication skills are preferred. We are committed to building a diverse and representative campaign and strongly encourage BIPOC and LGBTQ+ candidates to apply.
Our campaign is headquartered in Appleton, WI, but most positions can be done remotely. There are opportunities for evening and weekend hours as well as during the regular ‘business’ day. We will accommodate school and work schedules. Initial part-time positions will be unpaid, with potential for paid positions as the campaign progresses. Full-time interns may be eligible for stipends. If you are enthusiastic, excited about politics, and want to learn, this is a great opportunity to see things from the inside.
We would love to hear from you! If you’re interested, please send a short cover letter about you and why you’re interested with your resume attached to irene@nelsonforwi.com.
If you are returning to campus in the fall, you are eligible to apply for summer internship funding!
