Huston: Local grads gain experience at the Statehouse

STATEHOUSE (April 1, 2019) – Two Cathedral High School graduates are gaining experience as interns with State Rep. Todd Huston (R-Fishers) and his fellow members of the House of Representatives during the 2019 legislative session.

Max and Owen Adams, residents of Indianapolis, are the sons of Dave and Aileen Adams.

Max is currently a law student at the Indiana University McKinney School of Law, and earned bachelor’s degrees in English and public policy from Indiana University Bloomington. As a policy intern, he analyzes amendments and bills, prepares committee reports for legislators, researches Indiana Code and is a bill reader on the House Floor.

“It has been a great opportunity to work with Indiana’s policymakers while I go through law school,” Max said. “Seeing legislators in action has helped prepare me for a career in state and federal government once I graduate.”

Owen is an Indiana University Bloomington graduate with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a minor in history. He works as an intern in the House Majority Communications Office, where he writes press releases, creates legislative handouts and assists with media relations.

“It’s been really exciting to work in such a fast-paced environment,” Owen said. “I have learned a lot including creating videos for our members, interacting with the media and other tasks here at the Statehouse.”

“Hardworking interns like Max and Owen are a huge support to staff and legislators at the Statehouse,” Huston said. “Whether acting as a bill reader on the House floor or managing over half a dozen representative’s media relations, their jobs are invaluable to the day-to-day functions of the legislature.”

Each year, the House of Representatives offers paid internship opportunities to college students, law-school students, graduate students and recent college graduates for the duration of each legislative session.
