“Growing up as a constituent of Rep. Horsford’s, I was so grateful for the opportunity to join his 2024 campaign through DigiDems and enter politics for the first time. Now, having the chance to bring my expertise to Capitol Hill as the Congressman’s Communications Specialist is a dream come true!”
“I had an amazing experience as a Campaign DigiDem, and got to work with other passionate, smart people who shared my values. The professional development and support from coaches was great.”
“DigiDems was my entry point into a career in progressive politics, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I was placed on a campaign that deeply valued what I brought to the table, and thanks to the comprehensive support and programming of DigiDems staff, I had the tools I needed to shine on my campaign.”
“I loved working with DigiDems because they made the campaign space accessible to people like me who wanted to get involved with advocacy but didn’t know where to start. Since working on a campaign, I have made lifelong connections in the advocacy space and gone on to volunteer with my local Democratic party. I also landed my dream advocacy job thanks to DigiDems extensive network!”
