Voter Contact Organizer (Canvasser)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve all substantive info; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.

About For Our Future: description.
POSITION CLASSIFICATION: union info.
Job Summary: description of role.
Essential Functions: list of duties.
Skills And Qualifications: list.
Physical Requirements: list.
Benefits: list.
Expected Hours of Work: schedule info.
Work Environment: description.
Health and Safety: description (maybe not needed as separate section? Could be part of About? Might be considered boilerplate? It's specific health and safety policies; but we might include under a section like "Health and Safety" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are limited to those listed; we should not create other headings. So we need to fit content into those sections.
We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
- About the role: could be the mission description, job summary, maybe "About For Our Future". That seems appropriate.
- Responsibilities: essential functions list.
- Requirements: maybe physical requirements? Or maybe "Requirements" could include travel %, reports to, position type, classification, etc. But we need to follow typical usage: Requirements often include mandatory qualifications like transportation, driver's license, ability to work long hours, etc. Qualifications could be preferred experience, bilingual, etc. Skills could be interpersonal, etc. However we have overlapping categories.
We need to avoid duplication and filler.
We need to include Pay section because compensation is given: $23.34 per hour. So we must include Pay section.
Schedule section: Expected Hours of Work details: at least 40 hours per week, Tuesday through Saturday, may work outside normal business hours, weekends, holidays, nights, blackout dates. So we have schedule info.
Benefits section: we have benefits listed.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure each section has substantive content.
Let's extract content.
About the role: Could combine "About For Our Future" mission and job summary.
Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
Requirements: maybe "Position Type", "Position Classification", "Travel Percentage", "Reports to", "Position is anticipated to run through at least November 4, 2026", "Must have access to reliable transportation, a valid driver's license/insurance/registration, and clean driving record for at least 1 year", "Ability to work long and irregular hours", "Ability to meet deadlines under pressure while handling multiple projects", "Ability to work independently and in team settings". Also maybe "Previous campaign or other voter contact experience preferred" is more qualification.
Qualifications: "Previous campaign or other voter contact experience preferred, as a volunteer or staff member", "Knowledge of Votebuilder/VAN or a willingness to learn is preferred", "Bilingual experience is a plus, but not required".
Skills: "Strong interpersonal communications skills", maybe also "Ability to work independently and in team settings" (but that could be skill). Also "Ability to meet deadlines under pressure while handling multiple projects". Could also include "Ability to transport up to 15 pounds at times" (physical). But physical requirements maybe separate? Not in allowed headings; we could put physical requirements under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements as it's a requirement.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think.
We have many items; we need to allocate them without repeating.
Better approach: Use sections as follows:
- About the role: mission and job summary.
- Responsibilities: essential functions (list).
- Requirements: mandatory items: access to reliable transportation, valid driver's license/insurance/registration, clean driving record for at least 1 year, ability to work long and irregular hours, ability to meet deadlines under pressure while handling multiple projects, ability to work independently and in team settings, ability to transport up to 15 pounds, prolonged periods of moving around, travel across Grand Rapids (maybe travel %), position type, classification, reports to, duration.
- Qualifications: preferred experience: previous campaign or voter contact experience, knowledge of Votebuilder/VAN, bilingual experience.
- Skills: strong interpersonal communication skills (maybe also ability to work independently/team, but that's already in requirements). Could also include "Ability to work in extreme weather conditions" but that's work environment.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: $23.34 per hour.
- Schedule: expected hours: at least 40 hours per week, Tuesday through Saturday, may work outside normal business hours, weekends, holidays, nights, blackout dates.
We must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, AI, legal, etc. Remove those.
We must not duplicate lines.
Now produce HTML.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to ensure we don't include empty sections.
Let's craft.
First, About the role:
We can combine "About For Our Future" paragraph and "Job Summary". Let's write a concise prose.
About For Our Future: Founded in 2016, For Our Future Action Fund and For Our Future run the largest, permanent progressive field program across battleground states. Mission: advance economic justice by organizing voters around a pro-union, economic agenda and to elect pro-worker candidates.

- Other duties, responsibilities and activities may change or be assigned at any time with or without notice.
We need to avoid duplication: the first bullet includes three goals; we can keep as one bullet with sub-items maybe separate? Could break into separate bullets for each goal but that may be okay.
We'll produce
- for each.
Now Requirements: list mandatory items.
Items:
- Position Type: Temporary Full Time, Non-Exempt.

- Position Travel Percentage: 75%.

We'll put as
- .
Now Qualifications: preferred items.
- Previous campaign or other voter contact experience preferred, as a volunteer or staff member.
- Knowledge of Votebuilder/VAN or a willingness to learn is preferred.
- Bilingual experience is a plus, but not required.
Now Skills: maybe "Strong interpersonal communications skills". Also maybe "Ability to work independently and in team settings" but that's already in requirements; we could still include but avoid duplication. Let's just include "Strong interpersonal communications skills". Also maybe "Ability to work in extreme weather conditions" but that's work environment; we could include under Skills? Not sure. We'll keep minimal.
Now Benefits: list.
- Health Insurance Coverage - 95% Employer Paid
- Paid parental leave
- Retirement Savings Plan with matching contributions up to the first 5%
- $150 Monthly Cell Phone and Internet Reimbursement
- Monthly Mileage Stipend
- 13 days paid time off every calendar year, as well as other paid holidays

We could also mention "Employees may be assigned other duties to be conducted from their homes if state and government stay-at-home orders limit in-person work" but that's work environment; maybe not needed for schedule.
We'll keep schedule as above.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate: we omitted EEO, AI, legal, health and safety (except we included adherence to health and safety protocols in responsibilities; that's okay). We omitted duplicated lines.
Now produce HTML.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
