Investigator
American Oversight
Investigator job in Washington, DC
Job Description
Who We Are: American Oversight is a nonpartisan, nonprofit watchdog that advances truth, accountability, and democracy by enforcing the public's right to government records. We use multiple tools, backed by aggressive litigation, to fight attacks on democratic institutions, threats to civil rights and liberties, abuses of power, and erosion of government transparency. We expose and disrupt these attacks, and the officials and networks behind them, by forcing the government to turn over records officials would rather keep secret.
Since our founding in 2017, American Oversight has:
Shut down Trump's bogus "voter fraud" commission.
Revealed the Trump-sanctioned pressure campaign on the Ukrainian government by forcing the Trump administration to turn over records initially withheld from Congress.
Uncovered rampant preventable deaths of immigrants in federal custody.
Unmasked taxpayer-funded sham "audits" of the 2020 election.
Obtained the fake electors' forged certificates submitted by fake electors during the 2020 election.
Exposed networks of election denialists and subverters around the country.
Halted the impeachment of a newly elected state supreme court justice in Wisconsin.
Blocked state election board members in Georgia and Wisconsin from taking anti-democratic actions in secret.
We are committed to fighting threats of democracy at the federal, state, and local levels, using time-tested and innovative tools to expose misconduct, defend against attacks on marginalized communities, and demand accountability.
At American Oversight, we know that the abuse of government power is not just bad policy - it's a dangerous betrayal of the public trust. When officials exploit their positions to reward allies, weaponize the levers of government to punish perceived opponents, or roll back hard-won progress on racial equity and civil rights, they deepen inequality and erode the very foundations of democracy.
