Recent grad looking to get into politics? Sean Eldridge for Congress Fellowship Program (with housing) Kingston, NY
Dana Bye
Are you a recent grad looking to break into politics? Sean Eldridge for Congress, based in Kingston, NY, is seeking full-time Fellows. As a Fellow you’ll play an essential role during some of the busiest months of this highly competitive congressional race while learning firsthand what it takes to build a winning campaign from the ground up. And you’ll fill your political toolbox with highly valuable campaign skills like campaign operations, NGP, donor research, voter outreach, and event organizing. You'll work closely with the campaign staff to learn what it takes to run a winning campaign.
NY-19 is a top take-back opportunity for Democrats in the House. President Obama won NY-19 by six points in 2012 and the Cook Political Report has given it a Partisan Voter Index (PVI) of “D+1”. Politico ranked this race as one of the 10 “must-watch” House races and National Journal listed the seat as one of the most likely to flip this year.
