RISING STAR 8
MAX ENGLING
STAFF ASSISTANT, COMMITTEE ON HOUSE ADMINISTRATION
You may recognize this Hill staffer from a Kohl’s ad or Subway commercial since the political newcomer spent three years as a model in the fashion industry. He left the field in 2011 to pursue a career in which he could use the political science degree he earned from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. After wetting his feet as an intern he has been rising in the ranks ever since. Now, he’s organizing lecture series and bringing major names to advise interns on their budding careers. In his spare time, Engling and his wife volunteer for several charities aiding orphans, combating slavery and human rights abuses and working to end sexual exploitation. FAVORITE APP Drudge Report and ESPN’s SportsCenter FUN FACT I have worked with AIDS orphans and children in distress in both Ukraine and South Africa.
