Democratic Candidate Looking for Villanova Students to Serve as Interns for State Senate Campaign

Democratic candidate John Kane is hoping to recruit politically engaged Villanova students to work as interns for his campaign for the Pennsylvania State Senate.

Candidates will have the opportunity to learn about the day-to-day operations of an electoral campaign. Staffers are looking for "candidates who are highly motivated and passionate about politics and current affairs."

Interns will have the opportunity to:

  • Speak with voters, and learn how a campaign turns out voters
  • Recruit volunteers and connect with other local politically engaged individuals
  • Gain insight into Democratic field operations as well as campaign strategy
  • Learn from a variety of speakers, staffers, and other individuals connected to the campaign about topics related to campaigns, US and Pennsylvania politics, and social issues
  • Make a difference!
Interns will be expected to work 10-15 hours a week. Interns are encouraged to apply for course credit. If you're interested, email nancy@kane4senate.com, with a resume and a few lines about why you're applying.
