I don’t remember is there are any programs in which current Williams students spend a semester in Washington. If so, such students are likely interested in politics and perhaps in political campaigns. Chap’s campaign has a short-term, paid opportunity for anyone who is interested. Details below in an e-mail from Chap. The e-mail alone presents a pretty interesting picture of a modern political campaign.

As we enter the last month of the campaign, our biggest challenge is the record amount of money spent by my opponent. As you know, we cannot match her dollar for dollar on the airwaves. Therefore, we are preparing for a battle of “get out the vote”; going house to house to capitalize on the 50,000 doors I have personally knocked on within this Senate district since my first campaign in 1998. We need help making sure every one of these voters is contacted personally about voting in this low turnout election.

We are hiring neighborhood coordinators to talk to these voters on the ground for the last month. We will be prepared to fight Jeannemarie’s negative campaign at every door within hours if needed. Call it an old fashioned version of “rapid response”.

Do you know college students or recent college grads interested in working for our campaign for the last month? Are you looking for some seasonal work which involves person-to-person contact? These positions will be paid and will be a great entry level position for anyone interested in working on a campaign.

Here’s how you can help us with this project:

1) If you are interested in working as a neighborhood coordinator, email my campaign manager Joe Abbey at joe@fairfaxsenator.com

2) If you know of someone who would be a good fit for this position, please forward this email to them ASAP and ask them to email joe@fairfaxsenator.com

3) If you would like to contribute to help fund these positions, click here.

Our time is VERY limited to interview and hire these staffers, so please help us find these staffers TODAY. Thanks!
