From September through the middle of December, Alexandria Murphy worked in the Washington, D.C. office of U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen four days a week and then on Fridays went to seminars with guest speakers about topics, such as running for office, ethics and networking.  Those activities were part of a fellowship that Murphy was chosen for by Running Start, a non-profit and non-partisan organization that offers multiple programs for young women in politics. Murphy was chosen for the Star Fellow program which chooses seven college-aged women from around the country each semester to intern for a female member of Congress.
