Jul 2010 - Nov 2010
Came on late in the game at the specific request of Congressman's District Director to help shore up support. Designed and implemented field plan for Knox County while providing extra support in Fulton County. Unsuccessful race, but worked in two of six counties that Congressman Hare won. NOTE: Worked full-time for two months before working part-time the rest of the way because of concurrent internship for class (originally was forced to turn down Hare position for this reason).
