Get out the vote efforts win a Bronze Star

Posted by LegiStorm on Dec. 21, 2015

Perhaps thousands of congressional staff have some experience getting out the vote, but one of them has won a military Bronze Star for such efforts. 

Drew Warren, a professional staff member on the House Armed Services Committee's Readiness Subcommittee, was a captain who commanded Lima Company, Third Battalion, Sixth Marine Regiment, while it was assigned to provide stability to the insurgency-torn city of Fallujah. One key mission was to keep violence down during the election. He directed operations that led to the capture of 80 insurgents and several weapons caches, allowing voters to go to polling places in relative peace.

Warren spent more than two decades in the Marine Corps, serving in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. 

He obtained his bachelor's at Virginia Military Institute and is now seeking his MBA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
