Brenneman
Carson Brenneman, Classical School of Wichita, 2022, spent his summer living in Haymarket, Virginia, where he commuted to Washington, D.C., as an intern for Senator Jerry Moran. He took calls from constituents, sorted mail and emails, took tours, attended hearings, and performed other miscellaneous tasks such as taking documents to the cloakroom, retrieving a ticket to the Netanyahu address from the Senate Sargent at Arms office, and escorting guests through police lines and the capitol grounds during the riot at Union Station.
Carson’s favorite moments included giving Capitol tours to fellow Kansans, attending the Boeing and Secret Service hearings, and exploring D.C., especially the historic churches.
During a week of his internship, the Young America Foundation National Convention took place in D.C. Since Carson is the Vice-Chairman of the YAF chapter at OSU, he attended the evening programming after work, noting that it was a lot of fun. They enjoyed great speakers like the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, as shared in Carson’s photos.
“I really enjoyed working in the office with people who cared that I both had fun and gained first-hand experience of how government works day to day. Senator Moran and his staff are very kind people and were a pleasure to work with,” Carson reflected.
