Kansas Democrats Internship opportunities

I was asked to pass this along by Rep. Milack Talia in Johnson County. Please let me know if you are interested and I will connect you with him!

This is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to be involved in a campaign. Rep. Talia is great and I encourage anyone who is interested to take this great opportunity.

 

The two positions are as follows: strategic planning and policy research.

"For strategic planning, I will be running for reelection and need to come up with a strategy to win. This includes developing a campaign plan, timeline, and budget along with district analysis and platform research. We will also develop a door-to-door and direct mail program to connect with voters."

"On policy research, I need to conduct preliminary work on legislation to flush out before January. Specifically, I’m looking to see if other states have passed similar bills, what were some of the obstacles, and whether we can garner enough support to push a bill through the Legislature."

 

Please let me know if your interested, or if you know someone who is.
