New York Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is looking for some 13 staffers to fill her office.

Her team is seeking passionate, talented and creative thinkers to fight for "social, economic and racial justice for the country" as they serve New York's 14th congressional district, according to an ad posted over the weekend.

Ocasio-Cortez is looking to fill positions including a deputy chief of staff, a legislative director, a district press secretary, a digital content manager, a scheduler, a staff assistant, a district director, a caseworker, a community organizer, a financial administrator and an intern.

As well as the roles listed in a digital job description file, applicants are encouraged to get in touch if they can offer some other skill. “If you are the right person for the team, we will find a role for you,” the description reads.

We want creative thinkers—as long as they raise the same shallow talking points we do!
