Senate President Susan Wagle on Monday named an agriculture journalist as her new legislative director.
Wagle hired Bailey Corwine, who graduated from the University of Arkansas this year with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture communications.
She also has an associate degree from Allen County Community College.
Last summer, Corwine worked as a communications intern for the American Farm Bureau Federation in Washington.
Corwine describes her background and experiences on her website where she writes about her interest in agriculture.
Among other things, she writes about her love of the outdoors and how she likes kayaking and hiking.
“Bailey will be a welcome addition to my office as Senate president and I invite all senators to take advantage of her expertise and passion in an industry so crucial to the Kansas economy,” Wagle said in making the announcement.
“I am pleased to head into the 2020 session with a team whose wide range of experiences and educational backgrounds will bring varying perspectives and ideas to what I expect will be a very productive legislative year,” she said.
Corwine moves into the job held by Chase Blasi, before he became chief of staff with Harrison Hems’ departure.
