Hentzler said performing his civic duty and responsibilities to his neighbors became second nature.
Hentzler has spent the majority of the summer working on projects and preparing for campaign events, rallies, parades and canvassing for Margie Wakefield's congressional campaign and will continue to do so through the elections in November.
One event in particular stuck with Hentzler-a rally to kick off Wakefield's campaign at Union Station in Kansas City, Mo., on May 22.
"We were expecting 100 people, but more than 500 showed up to hear Margie speak," Hentzler said.
Hentzler said they originally had set up a spot for her to speak in a smaller room, but as the crowd grew larger, they had to change and move everything last minute—microphones, cameras, banners, the media and the heavy, wooden podium she was going to speak from.
It was an important, early lesson for many of the interns to be flexible, Hentzler said.
Hentzler said the entire experience so far has been, in one word, exciting. He said the energy among the interns campaign staff and Wakefield herself is infectious.
A lot of days are spent compiling lists of voters to contact and potentially connect with Wakefield's campaign, Hentzler said. He said that's how you get people behind you.
"That's what campaigns are about," Hentzler said. "People."
