Temple student leader’s quest for federal job featured in WSJ “MarketWatch”

Media Outlet: 

Wall Street Journal

Political science major and former Temple Student Government President David Lopez wants a public-sector job before he goes to law school (his end goal: to become a U.S. senator). His resume includes extensive campaign experience and internships at the White House and the Democratic National Committee. But governments at all levels are trimming staffs, and now grads are facing another hurdle: sequestration. Although friends have urged him to run for mayor of Hazelton, Pa., Lopez is thinking of working for a gubernatorial or congressional race while he waits for other opportunities.
