Sen. Murkowski's interns have completed a quest to take photos with all 100 U.S. senators this month, a dogged undertaking that snagged the notice of reporters, staffers and others on Capitol Hill.
Between National Defense Authorization Act amendment votes, Murkowski found Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and Nevada Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen. She escorted them off the Senate floor toward her interns, who beamed for a group photo as they closed in on a perfect score.ADVERTISEMENT
The interns waited for about an hour to take a photo with her. They knew she was wearing a bright orange blazer, and prepared to jump into action as other senators wearing bright colors — like Hawaii Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono, who wore pink — walked by. At last, Klobuchar appeared. She shook all of the interns’ hands, introduced herself and agreed to take a photo. Afterward, Mullet said, interns were “very, very proud” of their accomplishment.
It’s unclear whether Murkowski’s next group of summer interns will take up the challenge, but Mullet said she hopes they get to share the experience: “I think that would be fantastic.”Reporter Riley Rogerson is a full-time reporter for the ADN based in Washington, D.C.
