My office is seeking a bright, creative, and self-motivated legislative counsel to join our Washington, DC-based policy team.

The legislative counsel will draft legislation, analyze bills, and meet with constituents concerning policy matters, among other duties. The person will be expected to handle a diverse portfolio of policy issues.

The successful applicant will be a libertarian or classical liberal in the tradition of F.A. Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, and Frédéric Bastiat. The applicant must demonstrate a strong commitment to individual liberty, economic freedom, the Rule of Law, and the Constitution.

The person also must be an excellent writer & clear thinker willing to take on the most serious impediments to a freer, more prosperous America. An individual who prefers staid & steady work or who avoids challenges (and the occasional failure) may be more comfortable elsewhere.

Applicants must have a JD or equivalent. Two years of relevant policy experience is preferred, although Hill experience is not required.

To apply, please send a résumé, cover letter, and two writing samples to applydc@amash.com. Please include "legislative counsel applicant" in the subject line. No walk-in applicants or phone interviews.
