Description:
The Committee on House Administration (CHA) is seeking an experienced communications professional to join a fast-paced, high-impact Communications team supporting the Ranking Member and helping lead the office’s press and communications operations.
The Committee plays a central role in safeguarding the integrity of federal elections,
overseeing campaign finance and disclosure systems, and ensuring the effective,
transparent operation of the U.S. House of Representatives. This role offers the
opportunity to help shape and execute communications strategy on issues including
election integrity, anti-corruption efforts, and the functioning of American democracy.

ownership, visibility, and professional growth, including direct involvement in shaping
messaging on high-profile democracy and governance issues, advising senior leadership,
and engaging with top-tier media.
