Each of the interns in my paid internship program has a “one-on-one day” to follow me and see exactly what goes into representing VT. Today Nina will be tweeting about her day from my account. I secured funds in this years approps bills to pay ALL congressional interns.
This is Nina taking over Senator Leahy’s twitter for today. I’m from Waterbury, VT and study political science and environmental science @AmericanU. It looks like we have a busy day ahead of ourselves!
The Senator skyped with AP Gov’t students from Spaulding High School in Barre. Senator Leahy enjoys talking with students across #VT about civic engagement. Great to be discussing political participation with young people! 
[Nina] I was just on the Senate Floor (!) for the vote on the Farr nomination. Senator Leahy voted no. Fun fact: Senate Rules prohibit photography on the Senate Floor. Even to take a Senate class picture, a special resolution must be passed to allow a camera on the Senate Floor.
[Nina] I sat in on a meeting with @IIEGoodman. He works on international education policy for @IIEglobal. Sen. Leahy and Mr. Goodman talked about higher education in Saudi Arabia.
[Nina] We met with Melissa Jackson, a @DoleFoundation 2018 fellow. She is a Vermonter who is passionate about veterans’ issues and is here to talk about the challenges of caring for ill and injured veterans.
