Colin Harris completes internship with Congressman Comer

From Austin Hacker

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.) recognized local students Allie Fort, Colin Harris, and Ella Lester for recently completing summer internships in his Washington, D.C. office. During their time in the nation's capital, Allie, Colin, and Ella answered constituent inquiries from Kentucky's First Congressional District, researched legislative issues, coordinated tours, and provided general office assistance.

"Allie, Collin, and Ella became indispensable in my Washington office this summer, and I want to thank them for their dedicated service to Kentucky's First Congressional District. Their work was crucial to helping me and my staff, as well as assisting so many Kentuckians who call our office seeking help from the federal government. This talented trio has a bright future ahead of them, and I look forward to seeing each of their endeavors and achievements," said Congressman Comer.

Colin Harris, a Taylor County native, is pursuing his undergraduate degree from Campbellsville University, where he is actively involved in his Theater Troupe and the Archery team.

"I am thankful for this internship being one of my first government setting experiences, and it has been so helpful in preparing for my Masters," said Mr. Harris.


Allie Fort, a Christian County native, is pursuing her undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky, where she is a member of the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority and the Lewis Honors College.

"I loved hearing about the range of work needed in a Congressional office and hearing about issues in the 1stCongressional District that I would not have known without the internship. It was cool to see that everyone mattered, and all positions work to help keep the government functioning," said Ms. Fort.

Ella Lester, a Christian County native, is pursuing her undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama, where she is a member of the Chi Omega Sorority and UA Honors Program.

"I am very thankful for the opportunity to have learned more about the functions of the Legislative Branch. I gained many new connections that will help me in my future education and career," said Ms. Lester.

In Congressman Comer's Washington, DC office, internships run throughout the fall, spring, or summer semesters for college students. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' course schedules.
