While the 2024 election outcome was not what we wanted, we also know that this historic campaign could not have been run without the incredible energy, momentum, and smarts that staff and volunteers brought.
The progressive movement’s best resource is our people, and our organizations are stronger because of the people who push them forward. With the 2024 cycle (nearly) over, many talented campaign staffers and political technology professionals are now on the lookout for their next career move.
