Originally from Scranton, Pennsylvania and Des Moines, Iowa, Wayne Edmiston served as a Marine for the last 16 years, in part as a combat journalist in Iraq.
After graduating with his bachelor’s in business administration and a master’s in communications and media studies, Wayne is now pursuing a master’s degree in policy 
management at Georgetown University. He is also helping veterans through his work as a Congressional Fellow for the Office of Marine Corps Legislative Affairs in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In December, Wayne will become the Chief of the Marine Liaison Office in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he will serve as a liaison for the Marines and will lead international trips with Members of Congress. He hopes to eventually advocate for veterans in rural areas in America.
Wayne is proud to be named a Bryce Harlow Fellow, noting, “Bryce Harlow was a veteran, after being a public affairs officer in the Army. I am proud to serve as a Fellow and continue his legacy of government advocacy for veterans.”
