MAINE - Part-Time Field Organizer

About Represent Us

Represent Us fuels a grassroots movement to make government answer to people, not just the powerful. We believe no one should be above the law, and we build the constituent pressure, cross‑ideological audiences, and engaged communities that make Congress act.

We’re a scrappy, high‑energy team that punches well above our weight: seasoned political campaigners, communications professionals, policy experts, and organizers. We’re nimble, constantly learning and iterating, and we push ourselves to ignore industry standards and set new ones. We take the mission seriously and take care of each other.

Represent Us is building a Local Action Team (LAT) in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District as part of the Congressional Courage Campaign. The LAT is a grassroots group of ME‑2 constituents who meet regularly for organizing and educational activities, engage directly with their members of Congress, and take visible public actions on Represent Us’s accountability and reform agenda. As Field Organizer, your primary task will be to stand up a strong, sustainable LAT, designed to take meaningful action in 2026 and beyond.

Reporting to the Campaign Advisor and working closely with a local consultant in Maine, the Field Organizer will lead the day‑to‑day recruitment, relationship‑building, and coordination of the ME‑2 LAT from July through December 2026. You’ll work across a geographically vast district, anchored in Bangor and Lewiston, with a civic culture built for exactly this kind of organizing: high voter turnout, strong town‑meeting traditions, and an appetite for direct democratic participation.

You’ll be supported by national Represent Us staff and a State Advisory Council of influential Maine civic figures.

This is a part‑time, in‑person role based in Maine
, with a focus on organizing in Lewiston–Auburn, Bangor/Orono, and Augusta. Candidates must be residents of Maine’s 2nd Congressional District or Maine‑based and able to work in the district.
