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. The Deputy Communications Director will play a key role in developing messaging, elevating Committee priorities, and driving media engagement across national, regional, and emerging platforms.
