Volunteer campaign worker for his dad’s gubernatorial campaign 1 year. Unpaid intern in Governor’s office 8 years. Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years. Unpaid bishop and stake president for his church 10 years. No salary as president of the Olympics 3 years. No salary as MA governor 4 years.
That’s a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church.
