STAFF WRITER -
Our socially progressive, fiscally moderate Democratic Senate office is looking for a talented writer to join our communications team. We're looking for someone able to write in the senator's voice — casual, but eloquent — and our prose needs to match that style, whether we're talking about marriage equality or deficit reduction. Think: AP style, with lots of em dashes, as delivered from a pulpit on Sunday morning. We're looking for someone to apply that style to talking points, press releases, blog posts, blast emails, opening statements, and an occasional full-length speech. The boss is on four committees, so we need a policy sponge with a knack for research. Recovering journalists — or Ezra Klein-esque wunderkinds — fit the bill. With a number of in-state events to prepare for each week, in addition to our work in Washington, we're looking for a flexible team player who thrives on a deadline and can produce a ton of copy day in and day out. Sound like you? Submit a resume (preferably yours), a recent writing sample, and a one-page cover letter that convinces us that Twitter is important to American economic competitiveness to SenateWritingJob@gmail.com.

STAFF WRITER -

We're looking for someone to apply that style to talking points, press releases, blog posts, blast emails, opening statements, and an occasional full-length speech. The boss is on four committees, so we need a policy sponge with a knack for research. Recovering journalists — or Ezra Klein-esque wunderkinds — fit the bill. With a number of in-state events to prepare for each week, in addition to our work in Washington, we're looking for a flexible team player who thrives on a deadline and can produce a ton of copy day in and day out.

STAFF WRITER -
Our socially progressive, fiscally moderate Democratic Senate office is looking for a talented writer to join our communications team. We're looking for someone able to write in the senator's voice — casual, but eloquent — and our prose needs to match that style, whether we're talking about marriage equality or deficit reduction. Think: AP style, with lots of em dashes, as delivered from a pulpit on Sunday morning. We're looking for someone to apply that style to talking points, press releases, blog posts, blast emails, opening statements, and an occasional full-length speech. The boss is on four committees, so we need a policy sponge with a knack for research. Recovering journalists — or Ezra Klein-esque wunderkinds — fit the bill. With a number of in-state events to prepare for each week, in addition to our work in Washington, we're looking for a flexible team player who thrives on a deadline and can produce a ton of copy day in and day out. Sound like you? Submit a resume (preferably yours), a recent writing sample, and a one-page cover letter that convinces us that Twitter is important to American economic competitiveness to SenateWritingJob@gmail.com.
