The Fair Shot Texas PAC is a general purpose political action committee associated with the Texas AFL-CIO working to elect pro-worker candidates up and down the ballot, build lasting worker power, and advance an economy that delivers a fair shot for every Texan. The PAC is building a targeted field program to elect pro-labor candidates across Texas in 2026 and seeking Regional Organizing Directors in key regions around the state to help lead that effort.
Regional Organizing Directors (RODs) are regional field and political leaders responsible for executing Fair Shot Texas PAC’s voter contact program in key regions across the state. RODs will work with the Field and Data Director to design and execute a regional field plan, coordinate with campaigns and allied organizations, oversee operations and a paid canvass program, and ensure their region meets ambitious voter contact goals.
This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced political environments, can manage multiple priorities, and is committed to advancing the rights of working Texans and building strong, long-term field infrastructure.
