ONE TIME I HAD TO MEET WITH AN ELECTED OFFICIAL IN THE HALLWAY – HOW RUDE. WHO CONDUCTS BUSINESS IN A HALLWAY?
An elected official’s schedule is always subject to change due to occurrences such as a vote on the floor of the House or Senate, Committee hearings, and/or leadership meetings. If a conflict does arise, many times an elected official will ask you to “walk and talk” or meet them outside of a meeting with a staffer. It is important to remember that this is how business is often done – especially on Capitol Hill. Any face time with an elected official is important. Be flexible. 14.
