Project Description/Importance: My project consisted of writing articles on a variety of different topics, including abortion, immigration, taxes, he military, housing, and foreign policy. My task was to spin articles favored towards the left, to the right, or just report on the issue. This was a great way of learning different perspectives and exposed me to a variety of topics I didn't know too much about. These articles were uploaded onto the Republican party's new news site, which will launch later this month. I was also able to do outreach and volunteer at events including a new citizen swear-in ceremony. Project Process: At first, my project was to create a simulation of a CRM and create an internship video for the party, but that switched around slightly after my mentor and I had a conversation. We decided that the CRM simulation would have no real benefit to the organization, so there was no point in doing it. I then decided to go over and work with the two communications directors, Andrew and Michael, on article writing. They both supported me with how to write the articles from a certain perspective, and taught me the best way of wording terms. I improved tremendously and have written 12 articles and counting. I plan on continuing to write these articles even after internship is over.

I am glad that you were able to learn about different perspectives of politics through this internship! It seems like you had to learn a lot to accomplish what you did and your articles seem very professionally written. Also it's awesome to hear that your articles will be published soon as well! It sounds like your project went wonderfully and I hope you got as much as you could out of the experience!
