Jack Perry is running for the Connecticut State Senate to deliver practical results for working families across Connecticut's 16th State Senate District: Southington, Cheshire, Wolcott, Prospect, and Waterbury. These are communities that have been talked over for too long. Perry 2026 is a disciplined, voter-focused operation built on direct contact, clear messaging, and a refusal to let the other side define this district. We need a Field and Outreach Manager who is ready to build a real organization on the ground and win this seat in November.

The Field and Outreach Manager owns the campaign's voter contact program from first knock to Election Day. This person will design and execute the canvass plan, recruit and retain volunteers, run phone and text banking, oversee data integrity in VAN, and represent the campaign at community events across the district. This is a senior campaign role reporting directly to the Campaign Manager. It is not a desk job. The right candidate spends most of the week in the field, in community spaces, and on doors.
