My final day at the General Assembly began in the car, as I heard over the radio that the Governor had called for an Extra Session where the House was supposed to convene to draw up new districts, in compliance with a Supreme Court ruling. When I arrived at the General Assembly, Rep. Martin explained that although it was an order from the Governor, the House could simply adjourn and because Republicans have a super majority, it can be done. But until the Extra Session, which was scheduled for 2 pm, there was the regular Session where the focus of discussion would be on the omnibus gun bill that passed its second reading yesterday. There was some debate before it was eventually passed, and now it has to go through the Senate. After words, between the two Sessions, Rep. Martin held a staff meeting where each staff went over each project they were working on. Until now, I hadn’t realized how much was going on in the office at once. There were constituent issues, where Rep. Martin’s staff guided people through the bureaucracy to find the right people to help them, and there were multiple bills that he was sponsoring or helping to construct that needed work. The Extra Session was eventually, as Rep. Martin predicted, adjourned. A Rep stood up to make a motion to adjourn on the grounds that the Governor’s order to convene was unconstitutional, and the motion was passed and it was over. A Session that should have taken weeks was over in less than 10 minutes. Soon, it was time to leave for the last time. The past two weeks have been super interesting and entertaining. I’ve learned a lot and am grateful I got the opportunity to work with a great Representative and staff.
