Field Organizer - Minneapolis City Councilmember Lisa Goodman 

Friends for Lisa Goodman is looking for a part-time Field Organizer to help build and execute a field operation in Ward 7, Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

Lisa Goodman has a history of standing up for change. Before she was elected to the City Council, she stood up for women’s reproductive rights as the executive director of Minnesota NARAL. Confronted by threats to women’s rights and advancement by obstructionists at every level nearly every day, Lisa did her part to defend the women who were counting on her. When she led the pro-choice election effort in 1996, the MN Senate achieved a pro-choice majority for the first time in Minnesota history. Lisa worked for Paul Wellstone as his director of fundraising during his successful bid for Senate in 1990, and has consistently stood up for progressive values in the face of almost impossible odds.

• Executing field plan for Caucus recruitment in attempt to secure DFL Endorsement.
