Our strategy is threefold: build the Advancing Liberty Coalition — uniting veterans and military families, women of faith, people with disabilities, and business leaders across the ideological spectrum; block efforts to manipulate elections or interfere with certification; and protect democracy's guardrails to ensure elections are fair, accessible, and transparent.

Grounded in deep state-level relationships and cross-ideological credibility, we anticipate threats and deliver solutions where democracy is most at risk. ---------------------------------------- The Opportunity We are seeking a driven, proactive, and detail-oriented Administrative Assistant.
