In addition to regular interaction with TDP’s General Counsel, the successful applicant will work alongside the Party's Voter Protection, Compliance, Development, and Communications teams.
Responsibilities
- Provide day-to-day legal advice on Texas and federal election law, the Texas Election Code, and party rules governing primary administration, ballot access, and candidate filings.

- Track and analyze state and federal legislative and litigation developments affecting voting rights and election administration; translate legal analysis into practical guidance for Voter Protection and County Party staff.

- 2–5 years of relevant legal experience, including litigation in state and federal court.
- Knowledge of election or campaign law is a plus but not required.
- Excellent legal research and writing skills.
- Strong research, writing, and analytical skills, with the ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers.
- Ability to work effectively under tight and often unexpected deadlines. This is not a position for someone who seeks a structured and organized workday.
- Sound judgment and discretion in handling sensitive and confidential matters.
- Commitment to the mission and values of the Texas Democratic Party.

About the Texas Democratic Party
Founded in 1846, Texas Democrats continue the march towards a state as great as its promise.
A fair shot for all, that’s what drove Democrats to build this great state, and that is what drives us today. A belief that no matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, or who you love if you work hard in Texas, you can make it.
We believe democratic government exists to achieve as a community, state, and nation what we cannot achieve as individuals.
The Texas Democratic Party is a movement of millions of Texans coming together to fight for our Texas values. We know our state cannot succeed when the deck is stacked against working Texans and their families.
