Job description

Wisconsin State Senate Democratic Committee: Intern

The mission of the Wisconsin State Senate Democratic Committee is to elect more Democratic leaders to the Wisconsin State Senate. The SSDC provides the critical funding, infrastructure, and guidance that Democratic candidates need to fight and win. In 2024, the Wisconsin Senate Democrats broke the Republican supermajority in the State Senate, flipped all four of the targeted districts and successfully defended all Senate incumbents. That means, for the first time in over a decade, Democrats are poised to take back the majority in the Wisconsin State Senate in 2026. The work the SSDC needs to do to prepare for flipping the Wisconsin State Senate in 2026 starts right now.

The SSDC is hiring a team of interns to help lay the groundwork for candidates in 2026. This is a junior level position reporting directly to the SSDC Finance Associate, Abi Reiter and will work with SSDC staff, incumbent members, and candidates.

As an intern with the SSDC, you will help our finance team conduct large scale donor research, help staff events and fundraisers, help manage our NGP database, oversee both incumbent Senators and candidates in call time and assist in daily operations as we gear up for the 2026 election cycle.

This is a paid hourly, part time position, requiring 10 hours a week minimum. Statewide travel as well as occasional work on weekends may be requested but is not required.

What We're Looking For:

  • Dedication to the SSDC's mission
  • An enthusiasm for taking constructive feedback
  • A practical, responsive, and highly engaged communication style
  • Persistence and diligence in the face of sometimes tedious tasks
  • A dedication to elect Democratic candidates to the Wisconsin State Senate
  • Strong communication skills, including reading, writing, editing, and speaking

Qualifications:

A growth-oriented and a "can-do" mindset are the most important qualities of interns at SSDC. Consistency and dedication to the broader cause are also key. The tasks involved in supporting the SSDC and its candidates can be repetitive, so prior experience with long-term projects and comfort with repeat tasks is imperative.

Applicants do not need any prior experience in political campaigns or fundraisers but should have an interest in government and electing Democrats. Applicants should share in the progressive values that drive SSDC and Democratic elected officials in Wisconsin. Qualified applicants should have excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Conduct Donor Research
  • Work closely with the SSDC to prospect new donors our incumbents and candidates can solicit for contributions
  • Verify donor phone numbers using the Slydial app
  • Use digital resources to find donors giving history
  • Use online search engines to find relevant biographical information about new donors
  • Staff Fundraising Events
  • Manage the check-in of guests at SSDC fundraising events
  • Be prepared to direct guests to relevant Senators or staff at each fundraiser
  • Ensure each guest knows the general layout of the event and monitor how many individuals attend each event
  • Manage NGP database
  • Learn the basics of organizing an NGP database including Tags, Source Codes, Activist Tags, contributions reports, and more
  • Work with the SSDC's Deputy Executive Director and Finance Associate to maintain an organized and efficient database
  • Staff Senators and Candidates for Call Time
  • Assist in call time management by logging data in NGP and providing timely follow up to donors
  • Ensure efficiency by having the appropriate materials prepared ahead of call time
  • Be comfortable providing feedback to candidates and Senators during call time sessions
