March 24, 2014


Last week was another busy week.  There are only 28 days left in the legislative session.  I spent much of my time filling in for Senate Judiciary committee and Senate Labor & Commerce committee by preparing packets and attending the meetings.  What I like about my experience so far is the variety of topics to learn about.  One bill may be about prostitution laws and the next bill about hunting regulations.  I feel that this experience definitely feeds my curiosity and my interest in continual learning.
I also attended the weekly Native Issues Forum where my boss Senator Olson was one of the guest speakers.  It was the first public speech I’ve heard him give outside of the Capitol.  He gave a great speech about his experience in the education system and a couple of reindeer herding stories before he rolled into this session’s important topics.  Some he brought up were VPSO firearms, budget cuts and a fiscal overview. 
This weekend I attended the yearly Legislative Shoot Out competition with staffers in Senator Giessel’s office.  It was a lot of fun and I got to spend time with people that I don’t normally see while working in the Capitol. I also went with my aunt and uncle to a dance practice held on Auke Bay Beach.
