Today is my paid intern Owen's one-on-one day, where he shadows me to see what goes in to representing Vermont in the Senate. He will be posting photos and tweets about his day to this account.
[Owen] This is Owen posting, from Senator Leahy’s Twitter today. I’m a recent @uvmvermont graduate & have been a paid intern since January. Today we will attend committee hearings, meet with advocacy groups & visit with #Vermonters!
[Owen] Our first stop of the day was the Senate Floor, where the senator is co-managing the disaster relief Appropriations bill. Then a @SenateApprops subcommittee hearing where we are hearing from @SGottliebFDA on the FDA’s funding request for Fiscal Year 2020. 
[Owen] Now the senator is meeting with Tess Kuening, President and CEO of @bistatepca. We are discussing the valuable role that community health centers play in the lives of many #Vermonters, & their priorities for the 116th Congress.
[Owen] Currently on the steps of the #Capitol, where the senator is saying hi to students from the 8th grade class of Castleton Village School. They are in DC to learn more about our government and the work that the senator does on behalf of all #Vermonters.
[Owen] A year ago, I interned in the office @DavidZuckermanVT and then worked on his farm over the summer. It was a pleasure to be able to sit in on his meeting with the senator and to spend a little time with two important #Vermont leaders!
