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.
