What are the responsibilities and job description for the Entry Level Campaign Fellow position at Bridgford for Iowa?
Be part of a first-of-its-kind independent congressional campaign in Iowa's 1st District. As a Campaign Fellow, you'll do real voter outreach and specialize in one functional area of the campaign — all in a collaborative, student-driven environment.
The essentials
- Dates: August 31 – November 3, 2026 (through Election Day)
- Commitment: 5–10 hours/week
- Location: In person, in Iowa's 1st Congressional District
- Compensation: Volunteer/connection building
- Open to: High school and college students
What every fellow does
Direct voter outreach is the heart of the campaign, and every fellow takes part:
- Phone banking
- Attend and help out at campaign events
- Door knocking in your community
Choose your specialization
On top of outreach, you'll go deep in one area:
- Data analysis — Work with voter data and outreach tools to target the right voters and track the campaign's progress.
- Social media — Create content and help grow the campaign's presence online.
- Event planning — Help organize town halls, event appearances, and community events across the district.
Who we're looking for
Curious, self-motivated students who want to understand how a campaign actually works, aren't afraid to talk to people, and want a hands-on role rather than a spectator's seat. No prior political experience required.
Why you should join
This is a chance to take part in a unique and historic political campaign. For years, national political movements have launched out of the Iowa presidential caucuses — now it's time to start one in the U.S. House of Representatives. If elected, Michael Bridgford would have real leverage over the bills moving through the House, because today's Congress is decided by razor-thin margins. With this power, Michael wants to put an end to partisan fighting to bridge the divide and pass common sense bipartisan legislation.
This isn't your typical campaign internship. We're taking a different approach to voter persuasion, and you'll learn it inside a collaborative team led by young leaders. You'll have a community of like-minded people working toward one goal: changing how politics works for the better.
