I can still remember the first time I voted. I have lived in Chelsea, Massachusetts my entire life and from the moment when I could finally understand what Tim Russert was saying on Meet the Press, I eagerly awaited the day when I would become a part of the democratic process. That day came Freshman year of college. I had narrowly missed out on the heated 2008 Presidential race and I was not about to let the most important Senate race…

In the offices today for my first day working on the Scott Brown campaign! I've been involved with Massachusetts Republicans since working for Charlie Baker's gubernatorial campaign in 2010. That year was an important one for Republicans nationwide, especially when Scott Brown first made history in the January Special Election.

This year, we've got a Massachusetts Republican making a run for the White House, but we've also got to hold on to the gains we made in 2010. That's why I'm…

I officially joined the Brown Campaign as an intern this morning, and the enthusiasm in the office is growing with every new member of the team. I cannot wait to learn the ropes and delve into campaigning. The experience that I will gain from working on this campaign is unique and cannot be reproduced in a classroom.

I recently started working at the Scott Brown Campaign HQ and it’s a great place to work. Everybody is really excited about what we’re doing and the entire staff is  very friendly. 

Liz Warren was recently inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Boy was I curious as to why, since we are the reddest state in the union (as proclaimed by NPR - no counties at all voting for Obama in 2008).



I contacted them and still have the emails. They told me that someone must sponsor a potential inductee and that an anonymous board selects the new members. I asked who would sponsor Ms Warren, since she had basically abandoned Oklahoma. Answer: T. Boone Pickens!!!

With interest rates on student loans set to rise this summer, the topic of how to keep college affordable is staking a claim in the political landscape of the 2012 elections. Ninety-four percent of students borrow to attend college and there is more than $1 trillion in outstanding debt, making this an issue that touches all corners Massachusetts, the country as a whole, and my generation in particular. There is, however, a right and a wrong way to go about solving the current student loan…
