Candidate Researcher: Track State Legislative candidates position on abortion rights

What is Choice Tracker

Choice Tracker is an online tool and social media presence that teaches people about the impact their state legislators have on abortion rights, and motivates them to take actions in a way that can have real impact.

After seeing a tremendous response to our website choicetracker.org, and educational materials on instagram.com in Pennsylvania, we are expanding to 10 more states in 2024.

We are looking for people who can contribute to tracking down state legislative candidates in our 10 active states to find their position on abortion rights. We believe that if a person is running for office in 2024, for a position where they will contribute directly to legislation that impacts abortion rights, their position on the issue must be clear to the public.

What will this position do?

We have all the basic data about candidates running for State Representative and State Senator in each of our 11 key states. We need to find quotes from their campaign websites, news articles, social media and more, so that we can categorize them anywhere from an Anti-Choice Extremist to a Pro-Choice Champion.

On your own schedule, you will contribute to our effort by focusing on a state that you are interested in, and, one at a time, looking for a candidate's campaign site and a quote that allows us to classify them, and adding that information to our database. The process takes a few minutes per candidate, so you can log in whenever is convenient for you, and contribute to just a few candidates at a time as we get closer to election day.

Benefits:

Help educate voters, and counteract the inevitable click bait and misinformation of the upcoming election cycle by creating a verified, fact-based resource to motivate pro-choice voters in your state.

Team:

You’ll be working alongside and collaborating with passionate individuals who are leading the effort to expand Choice Tracker's presence in 10 new states. We'll train you and be available to answer any questions.

Skill Sets:

This position will be a great fit for an individual with:

• A passion for abortion rights
• An appreciation for nuance and political complexity
