Congressman Mike McCormack (D) was a Member of Congress from the 4th Congressional District of Washington. After graduation from CWU, I received a scholarship to The George Washington University to study for a Master of Public Administration. GWU is a few blocks west of the White House. I went to the Capitol and applied to be a volunteer intern in Mike’s congressional office and was accepted. I worked part-time in his office at the Capitol while taking classes at GWU. It was an experience for which I am grateful. Mike was instrumental in pointing me to Gonzaga Law School after graduation from GWU.
