One of Sen. Thomas R. Carper’s, D-Del., summer interns — likely the tallest — spoke about his experience on the Hill in a profile video from the Colonial Athletic Association.

Barnett Harris, who served as a legislative intern in Carper’s Senate office and is a senior forward on the University of Delaware’s basketball team, aspires to a career in politics. He said he plans to enroll in law school in the fall and practice for a few years before transitioning into politics. He said his dream job would be governor of Pennsylvania.

Carper said that he finds that athletes have a “leg up” on running for office because of their “team spirit.” He also recalled the first time he met Harris: “I remember reaching down to shake hands with him and he just started standing up and he just kept going,” the senator said, raising his hands over his head.

Staffer shuffle

Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., announced Friday that Christie Roberts will serve as campaign manager for his 2018 re-election bid.

Roberts served as research director for Tester’s 2012 Senate campaign. She most recently served as political director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for last year’s election. Before that, she was the DSCC’s deputy research director and then research director during the 2014 cycle.
