Majority Hunter Executive Director Evan Stewart recently wrote an article for Campaigns & Elections highlighting the 2018 jobs landscape for GOP operatives.

As we all turn the page on the 2016 election cycle, Evan and others are seeing a wealth of opportunities across not just campaigns and elections but also advocacy campaigns and organizations as well as the private sector.

“Moving beyond the traditional government relations career track, the ability to thrive in a high-pressure environment, make decisions quickly, and take on a leadership role are traits business leaders are noticing campaign professionals bring to the table.”

Majority Hunter

Evan makes a point of highlighting the growing need for specialization many of the available opportunities require, from data to digital, which is attracting people from outside the traditional campaign career path to this industry.

“I was struck by the number of students in non-political science majors who were beginning to realize the opportunities available to them in the campaign industry. Many students majoring in data science or statistics approached me with résumés asking for help getting on a race upon graduation. As our industry is thrust even more into the spotlight over the next few years, I only expect that interest to grow.”
