Hiring for MA Congressional Race

[Chelsie Ouellette]

The Rufus Gifford for Congress campaign is hiring field staff of all levels for the 2017-2018 cycle.  As a leader on the Obama campaign and former U.S. ambassador to Denmark, Rufus’ career is rooted in public service.  He is running for Congress to fight for the values now at stake with the Trump Administration. As Ambassador, Rufus valued connecting to people on a grassroots, person-to-person level, and is looking for campaign staff interested in that same style of campaigning for this race.

In the Massachusetts 3rd Congressional district stretching from Haverhill to Gardner to Marlborough, the campaign is looking for energetic, hardworking, savvy staff to hit the ground running over the next couple of months to organize and mobilize for a dynamic candidate.  The campaign is currently interviewing for both field leadership and organizer-level positions.
