Republican Women’s Group

Want to help change the Republican party for the better?  We do.  We are a new group of MODERATE Republican Women who have come together to encourage the party to find and support moderate candidates.  Our group needs an (unpaid) intern for the rest of this year to help with everything from managing mailing lists, to scheduling speakers, to candidate research, to anything else it might take to get us up and running on a national scale.  We are gearing up for a major media event in the fall so we need help with that also.  We need someone who is a good writer, someone who is very comfortable with old and new media, and someone who has a real interest in the future of the Republican party.  For the short term, we can probably get by with 10 hours a week or so, but that could increase as we grow.  At least initially you will be working in a law firm office downtown.  For more info, email Kay Bailey at kbailey@baileylawgroup.com
