The Florida Democratic Party is implementing a year-round, volunteer-driven voter contact program to re-enroll more than one million Democrats in Vote-by-Mail (VBM) and build durable organizing infrastructure across all 67 counties. Regional Field Organizers (RFOs) play a central leadership role in ensuring the program is executed with consistency, accountability, and alignment across counties within their assigned region.

RFOs are responsible for managing field operations, supporting local Democratic Executive Committees (DECs), developing volunteer leadership pipelines, and ensuring that voter contact efforts are scaled and sustained across the region. This role requires strategic judgment, strong political instincts, and a deep commitment to field organizing as a tool for long-term power-building.

  • Local Partnership and County Engagement: Build and maintain relationships with DEC leaders, clubs, caucuses, and local partners. Offer structured support and guidance to help counties build their own sustainable organizing programs.
  • Volunteer Infrastructure and Engagement: Lead regional efforts to recruit, train, and retain volunteers. Develop leadership pipelines that allow highperforming volunteers to take on expanded responsibilities.
  • Voter Contact Coordination: Support phonebanking, canvassing, and other voter contact efforts across the region. Ensure consistent implementation of voter contact strategy, tools, and data systems.
  • Data and Accountability: Monitor performance using FDP’s dashboards and reporting tools. Maintain data integrity and ensure that metrics are tracked and addressed in a timely and solutionsoriented manner.
  • CrossTeam Collaboration: Coordinate with FDP’s statewide data, digital, political, candidates & campaigns, and communications teams to ensure regional work is wellintegrated with other program areas, as directed.
