DC Vote - Executive Director
 
*DC VOTE
 
Summary*

Founded in 1998, *DC Vote* is an award-winning organization dedicated to
securing full voting representation in Congress and full democracy for the
more than half a million residents of the District of Columbia. Americans
living in our nation's capital pay full federal taxes, fight and die in
wars and serve on juries, but are denied voting representation in the House
and the Senate. While DC residents have an elected mayor and the DC
Council, all locally passed laws and the local budget must be sent to
Congress for review and approval. In many cases, Congress overrules
decisions of the local government. DC Vote is working to end this injustice
and to protect DC's local democracy.

DC Vote is searching for a dynamic, innovative, and experienced leader to
serve as our next *Executive Director*. The ideal candidate will bring a
track record of building successful advocacy campaigns, an ability to
