On Saturday, September 2, 2006, I staffed an event by my member at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association in Philadelphia. So what, you say? Congressional Fellows are supposed to staff events, right? Yes, but three years after my fellowship ended? To be sure, I have continued to be part of the Congressional Fellowship Program (CFP) in the last few years by continuing to work with staffers who were my colleagues in Congress, giving talks to interested groups about my experiences such as the recent presentation I gave on “How a Bill Really Becomes a Law” at the Dirksen Congressional Center, attending CFP events at conferences and in D.C., and generally keeping in touch with the director of the program, Jeff Biggs, and other fellows. Despite all of this, I never imagined I would end up staffing another event after I left Capitol Hill.
