Looking for a new job? Apparently our friends in the O.C. Democratic Party are looking for a new director of field operations and strategy. I found this item in today’s online Daily Pilot:
O.C. DEMS SEEK FIELD DIRECTOR
The Orange County Democrats are ramping up for 2008 elections after sweeping both houses of Congress this month. The Democratic Party of Orange County has created a new position, director of field operations and strategy, to develop and manage a volunteer field program.
“If you look at the demographics of Orange County, they are changing, and we gained 15,000 new Democrats since the beginning of 2006,” said Mike Levin, executive director. “We want to be going out in the community and make our presence felt, and we haven’t done that in a long time.”
The position involves building up and sustaining a program of paid workers and volunteers for campaigning.
The position, which pays about $3,000 to $4,000 per month, also entails organizing special events, building relationships with donors and maintaining databases and financial management.
Levin said he has received about a dozen resumes and will start interviewing next week. “A variety of skills in field organizing, political strategy, advertising and fundraising is ideal,” says the ad posting for the job.
The application deadline is Wednesday. Call executive director Mike Levin at (714) 835-2122 or e-mail him at mike@ocdemocrats.net for more information.
Why not Otto Bade? He’s a loyal Dem.!
Please take me back…
Can any Repubilcan apply? or just the DTS’s
OK, all you Anons:
Mike Levin is only looking for DEMS!!!!
No GOPers who don’t like the GOP nominee…
No GOPers who try to intimidate over 14,000 LEGAL VOTERS…
No GOPers, period! We’re talking about the Democratic Party here… We want a Democrat to run our field program! And hopefully, we’ll get someone good! : )
Poster #4,
For $36K to $48K you won’t get much. Maybe a college grad with two or three years of experience.
Maybe you folks ought to look at paying a living wage to your new field director? How is a politico supposed to get by on less than 75K a year?
Not such a bad salary considering the average starting salary for a Congressional Field Rep is about $30K/year.
And people who do this kind of work tend to do it for the love of it. As long as they make enough money to make ends meet, they’re satisfied.
