Chas Goldman ‘14
Non-partisan Pursuits
Before entering the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University this past fall, Chas Goldman ’14 spent a year pursuing his interests in domestic politics and international relations. He worked as a deputy legislative correspondent and then as the staff assistant for Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and also as a nonresident research intern working in the Center for Political-Military Analysis for Senior Fellow Richard Weitz, PhD, at the Hudson Institute. His research included weapons of mass destruction deterrence in Syria, US-China relations, post-Soviet defense architecture, and the crisis on the Korean Peninsula. “Hudson is a right-leaning DC-based think-tank, so it may seem odd that I work for one of the most progressive members of Congress,” Chas reflects. “However, I have found it extremely valuable to expose myself to various ideas, particularly in the comparatively nonpartisan space of international security and diplomacy.”
