Job Description The Susie Lee for Congress campaign is seeking energetic individuals to participate in the 2026 Democracy Summer Fellows program designed to organize in the most competitive congressional district in Nevada. Your work will directly help Democrats regain control of the United States House of Representatives. The 2026 Democracy Summer Fellowship program will last from
Monday, June 22, 2026
until
Friday, August 7, 2026
and requires a 15‑20 hour per week commitment.
As a Democracy Summer Fellow in Nevada's 3rd congressional district, your responsibilities will primarily entail direct voter contact (canvassing and phonebanking), with the goal of increasing voter turnout and delivering a victory for Congresswoman Susie Lee. In addition, you may also work in other departments such as operations, finance, and communications, and may be asked to participate in event planning, text banking, and social media outreach. As a Fellow, you will participate in the National Democracy Summer School for Fellows on Mondays and an additional 2‑hour organizing workshop each week. Throughout the rest of the week, you will work directly with Congresswoman Susie Lee's campaign to organize in the Las Vegas area. Fellows will be paid $575 for their participation.
You will be a great Fellow if you enjoy talking with people, communicate persuasively and effectively, have patience, a strong work ethic, and care about re‑electing a Democrat in the most competitive congressional district in the state.
Program Background The Democracy Summer project seeks to bring about political change in America by training and deploying the next generation of Democratic organizers and leaders to win elections at every level. Founded in Maryland by Congressman Jamie Raskin, the program now operates across the country, teaching high school and college students state‑of‑the‑art tactics in voter registration, political organizing, and the history of political and social change. In 2021 it expanded nationally in partnership with the DCCC, and in the last cycle more than 1,500 students participated in nearly every state.
Selected Fellows Must
Commit to fully participating in at least 4 hours a week of virtual seminars, discussions, and workshops.
Commit to fully participating in an additional 10–15 hours a week of organizing with their campaign (primarily in‑person with some remote responsibilities). Schedules will vary by individual campaign.
Be at least 16 years of age.
Weekly speaker sessions will take place virtually on Mondays from 12pm‑2pm ET (9am‑11am PT). An additional two‑hour interactive Zoom workshop session will be hosted at various times throughout the week. Fellows will be assigned a virtual workshop time based on their campaign and region.
