This is a remote position.

Square One is a national democratic organization that seeks out the most promising Democratic women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community to run for Congress in long-overlooked red districts and states, and provides the high-impact, hands-on support they need to launch, run, and win their groundbreaking campaigns — against all the odds. Square One candidates and alumni include Lauren Underwood, Lucy McBath, Ruben Gallego and many more.
