Senator Ensign, Larry Brown and Weekly support tennis
By Ryan Wolfington
As this Political season comes to a head we have players from both sides of the isle that support the game and many who play it. It became clear how important tennis was to Senator Ensign when he canceled his early morning meetings for a couple of Las Vegas children who went to Washington to be inspired. Inspiration is what they got, when our Senator played 2 hours of tennis on the "Highest court in the land", a special indoor court for Senators in their office building, with Senator Jim Demint. Soon after the high ranking Senator, who is in charge of helping get new members elected this year, put everything aside to have breakfast with the children in the private Senate dining room. Here they got a history and political science lesson as Senator Ensign explained why he left being a doctor to serve our nation. This included a private tour of the Senate floor where the children were able to open up the desk of President Kennedy and Nixon. It was a thrill to say the least. Turns out the Senator is a 4.0 player that plays 1-2 times a week, along with a biking routine, while other days he does sprints in the mall.
