IBEW Local 113
Through November 15, 2026
The Colorado Democratic Party is seeking a skilled and experienced Distributed Organizer to join our growing team. 2026 features competitive races up and down the ballot in Colorado, including the election of John Hickenlooper (US Senate), Phil Weiser (Governor), Jena Griswold (Attorney General), Amanda Gonzalez (Secretary of State), and Jeff Bridges (Treasurer), alongside competitive US House races. The Coordinated Campaign will persuade and mobilize voters to support Colorado’s Democrats in November 2026.
Distributed Organizers work statewide rather than in a single assigned turf. Where a Field Organizer is responsible for a defined geographic area, a Distributed Organizer is responsible for a portfolio: college campuses, community and coalition partnerships, volunteer leadership development in the Colorado counties without assigned field staff, and statewide virtual voter contact.
The core product of this role is the volunteer leader. In counties where no staff member is standing, an unpaid local leader running their own team is the program. Distributed Organizers find those people, train them, keep them, and connect them to the campaign's tools, data, and turf. Distributed Organizers also recruit volunteers who live outside targeted turf and connect them to shifts inside it, in coordination with Regional Organizing Directors.
This position reports to the Distributed Organizing Director. Portfolio assignment will be determined based on candidate experience and program need.
