And now, a note from our Intern

Politics is my life and I am very enthusiastic thinking about all that can be accomplished through political means. Pursuing my degree in Political Science is often looked down upon by my peers and friends. The reason this occurs is because people have such a distorted vision of what politics actually entales and what the processes are for passing legislation and accomplishing policy objectives. The average person only sees the negative side of politics, but does not see the positive results that political activity can accomplish.

Interning for the Pennsylvania Young Democrats, I have seen this positive side of politics, through the people and organization. Working with Executive Director Paul McKrell, I have obtained and gained many life lessons and political skills that I will carry with me in my endeavors. Each day I go to work knowing that I am working for an organization that is doing what the young people want and accomplishing many goals for the Democratic Party. This organization has many things to offer and I am pleased that I have had the privilege of working for such a great cause and group of people!
