Campaign Manager -- Utah House seat

The job is located in UT-04 (Salt Lake City area), which is arguably the number one Democrat incumbent target (Jim Matheson) in the country. Matheson received 51% last cycle against a poorly funded and poorly run campaign. Now, he's moved into the new Utah 04 district. The incumbent, Mia Love, would be the first black American Republican woman in U.S. History to go to Congress. So this race will not only receive national attention because of the nature of the race, but also because of the nature of the candidate. Mia recently won the Republican nomination by defeating two state legislators at the Republican State Convention. This required winning 60 percent of the delegate vote outright to secure the nomination without a primary. For more information visit www.love4utah.com.
