The Washington State Democratic Party's Coordinated Campaign is seeking a Field Organizer for Congressional District 2 to join our 2026 campaign. With multiple targeted congressional and legislative races across the state, our Field Organizers will be critical to the success of midterm elections in 2026. This position will report to our North Central Regional Field Director. This job is a full-time, campaign cycle position and is part of a collective bargaining unit. Evening and weekend work will be required, particularly as we get closer to the 2026 General Election. This position would be responsible for organizing across northern Congressional District 2, and specifically in Legislative Districts 39, 40, and 42. CD 2 is a geographically expansive district that encompasses communities like Sedro-Wooley, Bellingham, Ferndale, and Blaine. This is a field-intensive position focused primarily on directly contacting voters through door-to-door canvassing and voter phone calls. Applicants must reside within or nearby CD 2, or be willing to relocate before their start date. Because this position requires frequent travel throughout a large and relatively rural organizing region, applicants must have regular access to a reliable vehicle and be able to drive throughout the district. Organizers will be expected to travel to our regional campaign office in Bellingham regularly.
