This program is the real deal. As a PolitiCorps graduate, I can attest to the hard work these Fellows will be putting in, all to the benefit of greater Oregon. I have been able to apply the training from PolitiCorps over and over again this past year, and it has opened many doors to me as I was searching for jobs in politics. Best of luck to this year of Fellows, you all are going to have a great 10 weeks. Work it hard and you will do great things.
These folks will have 700-800 hours of hands-on political training under their belts after busting their asses for 10 weeks. Politicorps graduates have made some of the youngest campaign managers, field directors and all-around political superstars in Oregon and national politics. I'm looking forward to the next class of graduates.
