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.
