Stories from the week of August 4, 2017
Hey LEAP: As I was leaving a House office, a staffer called out. He had seen my name plate and wanted to say hi. He wanted to say thanks for all we do. He had gone to a LEAP presentation at his college.
Switch to Senate: Starting on Tuesday I began my visits to Senate offices. For some reason Senate offices are much better at meeting me on one request vs. the House which takes multiple email requests. I’ll end up with about 30 this month.
