Welcome to Rep. Mark Strama's Campaign Academy 2010 Blog!

The Mark Strama for State Representative Campaign Academy is a unique summer opportunity for high school and college students to work inside a high-profile campaign. We are learning the nuts and bolts of modern politics as well as the important policy questions that confront state government. Lunch speakers come in everyday ranging from current and former elected officials, political consultants, and university professors to state policy experts to share their experiences in politics with us.

Campaign Academy has been dedicated to ensuring that all students like us have a rewarding and challenging experience, while making a difference in the political system.

Name: Elise LeGros

School and Year in School: Senior at St. Edward's University
Major: Global Studies
Elevator Pitch: Hi! Mark Strama Campaign Academy is my first venture into politics. I decided to get involved in the political scene after studying abroad, once in France, and more recently in Croatia and Serbia. It took going across the world to understand how powerful it is to be an American, how many freedoms we have at home, and how much I take this for granted. When abroad, I have been embarrassed by our government and former president too many times and I want to play some role (no matter how minuscule) in changing that. 
Favorite Political Figure: Mark Strama
