TPM is hiring a reporter to cover the inner workings of the Democratic party and Democratic political coalition in Washington, DC. The world of congressional staff, the major liberal and labor groups, campaign committees, Democrats working on K Street and in public relations firms. Everything that professional Democrats do and are involved with in the nation’s capital: the business of the Democratic party, the strategies Democrats are discussing and pursuing, the nuts and bolts of elections, the policy questions that bear directly on campaign and legislative work and more.
This position is for a new venture at TPM, separate from the rest of our news operation. The position will be based in TPM’s DC office and work directly with TPM Editor-in-Chief Josh Marshall to build something new.
Applicants should have between 5 and 10 years experience and should be fully immersed in the listed subject areas. The most relevant experience is as a reporter working in Washington, DC. But we will also consider work experience within the Democratic infrastructure, as a congressional staffer, operative, etc.
