10. All About Congress with Congressional Staffer Allison Feikes

In this episode of the podcast, Mackenzie sits down to chat with congressional policy advisor/legislative assistant Allison Feikes. You may know Allison from her social media ventures such as TikTok, but Allison gives us a great inside look at what goes on in congress, and all sorts of ways that members of the community can stay involved and active in government. Allison and Mackenzie talk about getting a job on the hill, funny congress traditions, how things in congress change due to elections, and the hardest and best parts of the job.

  2. Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near
    future but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  5. Currently it seems like Expression Engine is the preferred
    blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read)
    Is that what you’re using on your blog?

  6. Hello there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that
    would be okay. I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new
    updates.

  7. I’d like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing

    in it or something. I think that you can do
    with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that,
    this is magnificent blog. A fantastic read.
    I will definitely be back.

  10. I am extremely inspired with your writing skills and also with the layout for your weblog.
    Is this a paid topic or did you customize it your self?
    Anyway keep up the nice high quality writing, it is rare to peer a great weblog like this one today..

  12. We are a group of volunteers and starting a brand new scheme in our community.
    Your website provided us with useful information to work on. You’ve performed a formidable process and our entire neighborhood will probably be thankful to
    you.

  13. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is
    needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would
    cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100%
    certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    • I use WordPress.org to run this site, it is completely free to use after you’ve purchased a domain, domains can range in price but are usually pretty cheap. Hope that helps! 🙂

  17. Can I simply say what a comfort to find a person that
    really understands what they’re talking about over the internet.

    You actually understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.

    A lot more people must read this and understand this side of your story.
    I was surprised that you are not more popular since
    you certainly possess the gift.

  18. Good blog you have got here.. It’s hard to find
    high quality writing like yours these days. I seriously appreciate individuals like you!
    Take care!!

  19. Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail.
    I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be
    interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it grow
    over time.

  21. Awesome blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of
    any message boards that cover the same topics talked about
    here? I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get opinions
    from other knowledgeable individuals that share the
    same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let

  22. Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.

    side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back
    to get more. Thanks

  23. Everything posted was very reasonable. However, consider
    this, suppose you were to write a killer headline? I mean,
    I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a title
    that makes people desire more? I mean 10. All About Congress
    with Congressional Staffer Allison Feikes ~ The Fascinating Jobs Podcast is kinda vanilla.
    You could look at Yahoo’s home page and note how
    they write article headlines to grab people interested.
    You might add a related video or a picture or two
    to get readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
    Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little livelier.
