Ed Markey for US Senate

Campaign Fellow

September - November 2020 • Boston, MA

What I liked

Everything. The campaign was incredibly organized and well thought out, and the staff was incredibly supportive. There was an emphasis on creating an environment in which we could develop professionally while also creating a community within our teams.

What I wish was different

Nothing. I genuinely loved the fellowship.

Advice

Take advantage of all the extra professional development opportunities offered in the fellowship. Mass politics is a family game- CMs tend to hire people they've worked with in the past. Make connections.

What I wish was different

This internship was remote, and I wish I had the chance to complete it in person.

Advice
