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.

Sam Brothers


Name: Sam Brothers
Age: 18
School and Year in School: I will be a Freshman at Georgetown University next year.
Major: I expect to be a government major.
Elevator Pitch: Ever since I was young, I've been an avid reader, and this reading inevitably drew me to Democratic politics from an early age. The last decade has been a fairly alarming one to become politically conscious in, with two wars, an economic downturn, and widespread environmental degradation. George Bush gave me a clear example of the kind of political leadership I was against, and now new, inspiring politicians such as Barack Obama, Patrick Rose, and Mark Strama are giving me examples of kinds of political leadership I can wholeheartedly support, and along with that leadership, hope for the future of the United States and Texas.
Favorite Political Figure: Josiah Bartlet- even though he is fictional, his integrity, charisma and courage have never ceased to impress me.
Favorite Musician: There's no way I can pick just one!
Hobbies: Rock climbing, Model United Nations, martial arts, reading.
