About Ohio State

Parties are responsible for building infrastructure necessary for successful candidate campaigns up and down the ballot. Over the last few years, Ohio Democrats built a year-round organizing model driven by local community activists and volunteers. Ohio Dems are testing new technology and programs to build a modern, data-driven, and nimble force to elect Democrats statewide now and in the future. Ohioans will vote on over 6,000 municipal races in 2025 and in 2026, every statewide office will be on the ballot– including a special election to replace J.D. Vance’s seat in the U.S. Senate.

With 3 DCCC Frontline Races to protect, the path to a Democratic majority in the U.S. House and Senate will once again run through Ohio in 2026.

We are looking for Spring Interns to support and participate in these efforts. Opportunities are available in various departments across the organization and duties will vary from department to department. Each intern will work up to 15-20 hours per week.

• Assisting the Fundraising team in day-to-day administrative and operational activities, including donor prospecting, database maintenance, and relationship management with Ohio Democratic Party donors.

• Building necessary communication and organization skills to cultivate relationships with activists, political leaders, donors and elected officials.
• Helping with the preparation of call time for the Chairwoman and Executive Director.
