Job description

Door-to-Door Outreach Rep – Up to $26/hr + Bonuses

Full-time & Part-time, Temporary

It\'s your time to step up for Nebraska! Dan Osborn isn\'t a career politician. He\'s a Navy veteran and a union mechanic, and he\'s running as an independent because he believes Nebraskans deserve a senator who answers to them, not to party bosses or big donors. Fair wages, affordable healthcare, and a government that works for everyday people aren\'t left or right ideas. They\'re Nebraska values.

Campaigns like this aren\'t won with TV ads. They\'re won by people power: neighbors talking to neighbors, one conversation at a time, on every porch, corner, driveway, sidewalk, field and farm across the state. There are more working Nebraskans than there are special interests, and when we show up, we win. If you\'re ready to help build that power from the ground up, we want you on our team!

This role is a great opportunity to gain experience in Leadership, Public Speaking & Persuasion, Grassroots Organizing, Voter & Community Engagement, Team Management, and Data Collection, all skills that carry over to careers in politics, nonprofits, and sales.

Pay & Perks

• Canvassers start at $25/hr
• Team Leads start at $26/hr
• Paid training at $20/hr for your first 3 days
• Overtime pay
• Full-time bonuses
• Driver bonuses
• Referral bonuses: get paid to bring your friends on board

Canvasser Responsibilities ($25/hr)
