Politics

Inside with an Intern

Hello, my name is August Higgins and I am a Senior Political Science major at Howard Payne University. Over the past semester, I had the great privilege to intern at Congressman Mike Conaway?s Regional Office in Brownwood, Texas. Mandy Locker, the Regional Director, has taught me so much since I started in January. I always assumed that congressmen were busy people, but I had no idea they were involved in so many things at once! I came to realize very quickly all of the things that Congressman Conaway and his staff (i.e. ?Team Conaway?) do for the people of District 11 in the great state of Texas. I learned so many things in my intern experience that can only be learned with first-hand experience in a congressional office, and I greatly appreciate the opportunities that this internship gave to me.
