Dear JRN students, especially seniors,
For those of you who might be interested in working in politics, here is job posting for a progressive online organization.  If I receive such political job opportunity postings from more conservative and moderate organizations, I will pass those along as well.

metropolitan areas around the country. They will recruit, train, and work
