	&lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sen.-elect &lt;a href=&quot;/profiles/kay_hagan&quot;&gt;Kay Hagan&lt;/a&gt; has firsthand experience in constituent service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For six months between when she graduated from college in 1975 and started law school, the Greensboro Democrat volunteered for her uncle, Florida Sen. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawton_Chiles&quot;&gt;Lawton Chiles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For three-fourths of the day, she handled constituent service, and then for the remainder of her time she would help run the senators&amp;#39; elevator. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(U.S. senators have a special elevator that the public is not allowed to ride in unless invited. It is now professionally run.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hagan has an unusual tie with one of the other interns from her time in Washington. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/profiles/don_vaughan&quot;&gt;Don Vaughan&lt;/a&gt;, who worked for then Sen. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Burren_Morgan&quot;&gt;Robert Morgan&lt;/a&gt; of North Carolina, won Hagan&amp;#39;s old state &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/vaughan_to_seek_hagans_seat&quot;&gt;Senate seat&lt;/a&gt; in the November election.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
