The district is one of the largest in the country, encompassing 70,000 square miles. The job could be based in beautiful Bend (central Oregon) or Medford (southern Oregon). Due to the unique and constantly busy nature of the congressional arena, we are looking for someone who has experience working for a busy Member of Congress and understands the scheduling needs that come with a constantly busy district and Washington DC life. Congressman Walden has three district offices, and very dedicated and likable district staffers. We hope to find an experienced DC or district scheduler who might want a change of scenery or is currently working for a retiring member, etc. The main district cities of Bend and Medford, Oregon are highly desirable locations to live and raise a family or retire in, with abundant year-round outdoor activities, low cost of living, and newly constructed airports with connections to major cities. Our district offices in Bend and Medford are very employee-friendly and located in the heart of each town’s downtown area. This job would work closely with our DC Executive Assistant/Scheduler, who worked for Congressman Walden in one of our district offices before moving to DC a year ago and would be a very good “teacher” about the district particulars. Congressman Walden commutes home to Oregon most weeks of the year, and travels throughout the large district frequently. The office employs a teamwork approach to our busy and diverse schedule, and we’re looking for someone who can help make district event and travel planning successful. If you are interested, please email to waldenoregonschedule@mail.house.gov your resume and anything you think relevant for the office to consider, and we will be in touch. The job is open now.
