Interns

This Spring my campaign is fortunate to have the help of two interns from the United States. Corinna Byrum and Lauren Kuhl, both aged 20 are based at my campaign centre in the heart of Putney.

Corinna who's from California and Lauren, from Connecticut, are both studying politics and, although they've only been with us a few days, have helped take my campaign up a notch or two.

When they're not working hard on the campaign both are taking courses in British politics, government and key policy issues facing the country.

And they also get time to see a lot of England: between them they've already been to Stone Henge, Bath, Salisbury, Camden Town, Spitalfields, BBC Television Centre, Notting Hill and Kensington Gardens - Corinna's even had the pleasure of watching Fulham take on Aston Villa at Craven Cottage on Saturday!

Alas, their time in Britain ends in mid April - so they won't get to experience the London elections in May for which they'll be working so hard for. But at least both have signed up to take part in the US elections primary for overseas voters (which happens Tuesday) so they won't miss out on that.
