STAFF
WRITER -
Our socially progressive, fiscally moderate
Democratic Senate office is looking for a talented writer to join our
communications team. We're looking for someone able to write in the senator's
voice — casual, but eloquent — and our prose needs to match that style,
whether we're talking about marriage equality or deficit reduction. Think: AP
style, with lots of em dashes, as delivered from a pulpit on Sunday morning.
We're looking for someone to apply that style to talking points, press
releases, blog posts, blast emails, opening statements, and an occasional
full-length speech. The boss is on four committees, so we need a policy
sponge with a knack for research. Recovering journalists — or Ezra
Klein-esque wunderkinds — fit the bill. With a number of in-state events to
prepare for each week, in addition to our work in Washington, we're looking
for a flexible team player who thrives on a deadline and can produce a ton of
copy day in and day out. Sound like you? Submit a resume (preferably
yours), a recent writing sample, and a one-page cover letter that convinces
us that Twitter is important to American economic competitiveness to
