To apply, please send your resume, cover letter, and 2-3 references to info@padems.com .

Previous political experience is a plus, but not required. The Pennsylvania Democratic Party is an equal-opportunity organization – we do not discriminate based on items such as race, gender, or sexual orientation, and encourage people from different backgrounds to apply. Schedules can be arranged on a case-by-case basis. You may be asked to do some weekend work.
