STATEHOUSE (March 1, 2017) – A local graduate is gaining experience as an intern with State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) and his fellow members of the House of Representatives during the 2017 legislative session.

Ethan Truax, a resident of Pittsboro, is the son of Hal and Susan Truax. Truax attends Purdue University where he is majoring in classical studies.

As a legislative intern, Truax corresponds with constituents through phone calls, letters and emails. He also helps staff committee hearings and floor proceedings.

“Through the House internship program, college-level students have the unique opportunity to see firsthand how state government operates,” Thompson said. “I strongly encourage interested students in our community to apply for the internship next session.”

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.
