Description

Goodweather for DC is seeking a Field Director to lead our grassroots voter contact program across all eight wards. This is a senior role responsible for building and managing the field team, developing voter contact strategy, and ensuring the campaign has meaningful conversations with residents in every neighborhood.

Gary Goodweather is a U.S. Army veteran, former National Guard member, and longtime executive with decades of leadership experience.
