Canvass Lead - Remote

Employer:

Montana Rural Voters works to defend and elect candidates for federal office who will champion rural issues. We advocate for candidates who will fight for vibrant communities where small businesses prosper and stay in family hands, where there is a level playing field for farmers, ranchers, and producers, and where clean air and water are protected. We also work to raise the voices of rural people to elected officials once they are in office.
