You’ll gain hands-on experience analyzing election results, researching turnout rates and candidate performance, and using membership demographics to best manage program tactics and resources in municipal elections all the way up to federal and statewide races.
• POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS: Communications Intern would be responsible for monitoring news reports and social media for issues of concern to the Michigan AFL-CIO.
