Today, Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.) recognized local students Ember Bowman, Hollie Harlan, and Laura Linkous for completing summer internships in his Tompkinsville, Kentucky office. During the internship, Bowman, Harlan, and Linkous assisted staff with constituent casework, responded to constituent inquiries, and provided general office assistance for Kentucky's First Congressional District.
“In my Tompkinsville office this summer, Ember, Hollie, and Laura were a critical part of the team, and I want to thank them for their dedicated service to Kentucky’s First Congressional District. So many Kentuckians call into my office seeking help from the federal government and these students assisted my staff each day to address and resolve their issues. I can’t thank them enough for their work, and I know all three have a bright future ahead of them,” said Congressman Comer.
Ember Bowman, a Monroe County native, is pursuing her undergraduate degree from Eastern Kentucky University in Political Science.
“This internship placed me in an environment where I was able to deal firsthand with constituents in the District, which in turn gave me a better understanding of issues that are affecting my district and how these concerns are addressed,” said Ms. Bowman.
Hollie Harlan, also a Monroe County native, is pursuing her undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky in Accounting and Finance.
“I have learned a lot this summer, including more about casework and the importance it has to the 1st Congressional District. I have enjoyed communicating with people from all walks of life and helping them with any issues they may have,” said Ms. Harlan.
Laura Linkous, a Metcalfe County native, is pursuing her undergraduate degree from Centre College in Mathematics and Data Science.
“I have been given many opportunities through my internship with Congressman Comer’s District Office. Having the opportunity to learn how Casework helps our constituents has been very rewarding,” said Ms. Linkous.
In the District office, interns may be asked to do various tasks such as answering phones, writing letters, assisting with media clips as well as handling constituent casework or working on District-based projects of importance.
