U.S. Senator John Boozman has acknowledged the contributions of college students who interned in his Washington, D.C., and Arkansas offices during the first summer session.
“These bright, energetic young people did a great job supporting Arkansans through their work in my Capitol Hill and Natural State offices this summer. Their contributions benefited my staff as we provided important constituent services and represented our state’s voices in the Senate. I am proud of them and have confidence that this experience has strengthened their understanding of the legislative process as well as encouraged a continued interest in public service,” Boozman said.

They also assisted with legislative and communications tasks while having the opportunity to shadow Senator Boozman for a day.
