Parker Erickson stumbled into the world of advocacy. During his junior year at the University of Utah, this football player served an internship in Senator Orrin Hatch’s Senate Finance Committee Office. At the final football game of his senior year, Parker was offered a 
position by former Congressman Jason Chaffetz to work in his D.C. office. Parker served as a legislative correspondent and later as a legislative assistant for the Congressman, working primarily on education and health care issues. Currently, Parker is Director of Legislative Affairs at the Charles Group, where he advocates for clients on a wide range of issues including aging, pharmaceuticals, and health care.
Parker is currently in his second year at the Georgetown University Law Center and credits the Bryce Harlow Fellowship with helping him stay in school while pursuing his career. “I’m fascinated by how the legal process interacts with policy, and I truly enjoy using this knowledge to work on behalf of my clients,” Parker said. “Learning about Mr. Bryce Harlow reinforces my commitment to serve clients in the most ethical way possible.”
