KTK is excited to announce that its 2020 Summer Law Clerk position has been accepted by Mark McDermed. Mark is currently a student at University of Iowa College of Law. He earned his undergraduate degree from Kansas State University, where he graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in both Political Science and Business Administration.

Mark has a variety of experience in the political and legal field. He served as a legislative intern for the Office of Kansas State Representative John Eplee, where he focused on rulings surrounding K-12 educational funding. Mark was simultaneously a Statewide Field Coordinator for Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab’s 2018 campaign, and helped develop and implement a campaign networking strategy.
