Chris is a Writing Intern at the Freedom Advocacy Network.

Beyond politics, he enjoys being outdoors, very amateur photography, insightful internet browsing and never shies away from learning new things. He is apparently too busy for hobbies, but does enjoy a book now and then, his favourite being the classic, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee. Follow Chris on Twitter, @pchrjza.
