I honed my skills with both politics and communications. I would often be sent out into the local community to inform local businesses about events and projects being sponsored by the senator. I gained experience in a startup-like environment, making spreadsheets, calling constituents, acting as a receptionist and assisting the office to help constituents who were in need of assistance. I found this work extremely rewarding. Constituents often called the office to request assistance with city-wide and state-wide issues; it was truly exciting to be able to take part in getting things done for them on a case by case basis.I would also be asked to write first drafts of press releases to local newspapers.
