Chad Harp Enjoyed Working for the Republican National Committee

The United States is a very large country. In fact, the US is the third largest country in the world by population. Politics plays an important role in the country due to the representative nature of state governments, local governments, and the federal government. Unfortunately, not enough people are involved in politics in the US for the representative system to work ideally.

Those that do get involved in a serious manner, often care deeply about the issues and their beliefs. Others simply enjoy the work and challenges of a political life. There are a lot of opportunities out there to work with the various political parties and representatives in order to help them get elected and help certain policies be implemented by the government.

Chad Harp has always had an interest in politics. Ever since he began following US politics, he knew that it was something he wanted to be involved in for at least for part of his life. For that reason, Chad Harp attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and earned a bachelor's degree in political science. During his studies, he had the prestigious opportunity to work for the Republican National Committee in Las Vegas during the 2012 presidential election. He loved the work and was able to campaign for Mitt Romney and a variety of other republican candidates in the Las Vegas area, including Joe Heck and Dean Heller.

At times, the work was very stressful. Political work during an election requires a lot of last minute adjustments and an always-on mentality so that staff can be ready for any developments or changes to a schedule. The work of campaigning is completely different from the more deliberate political work at the Republican National Committee, however.

Ultimately, the work Chad Harp accomplished was a great experience for him. He enjoyed his time at the Republican National Committee immensely and hopes to get more involved during the next big political campaigning round.
