JOBS:
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.
