Help wanted at the SDGOP

I had a note from one of the County Chairmen the other day that the State GOP is supposedly looking for a few good campaign workers for the Sioux Falls office. I tried to find it on the GOP website to link to the listings, but the career opportunities link isn't up.

So, just in case someone wants some fun and adventure on the campaign trail and hasn't seen the listing elsewhere, here's what I'm told the State GOP is seeking staffers for:

REGIONAL DIRECTOR
The South Dakota Republican Party is accepting applications for a Regional Director to handle voter registration, identification and turn-out operations in the Sioux Falls area. The regional director would be responsible for all voter contact and Get-Out-The-Vote efforts for Sioux Falls and the Sioux Empire area. The director would be in charge of maintaining a regional office in Sioux Falls with supervision of up to 4 additional staff members. To apply, please send a cover letter and resume to Executive Director, PO Box 1099, Pierre, SD 57501 or e-mail to
administrator@southdakotagop.com.

DATABASE MANAGER
The South Dakota Republican Party is accepting applications for a Database Manager to direct the management of voter databases and lists. The database manager would be responsible for compiling and maintaining voter identifications and new registrations and for compiling and distributing door-to-door and phone voter contact lists. The position is located in Sioux Falls. To apply, please send a cover letter and resume to Executive Director, PO Box 1099, Pierre, SD 57501 or e-mail to administrator@southdakotagop.com.

FIELD STAFF
The South Dakota Republican Party is accepting applications for three field staff to execute voter registration, identification and GOTV efforts. The field staff would be responsible for working with volunteers and paid staff to complete door-to-door and telephone voter identification and Election Day turnout in the Sioux Falls and Sioux Empire area. To apply, please send a cover letter and resume to Executive Director, PO Box 1099, Pierre, SD 57501 or e-mail to administrator@southdakotagop.com.

If you send them something, let them know you read it here. (Then maybe they'll include me on the blog links).

If you're someone who wants to beome involved in politics - this is a far better education than you could ever get in a classroom listening to an instructor. This is real world experience.

My only warning? It's contagious. Once you get involved, you may find yourself running in a few years.
