Columbus East High School graduate gains experience

at Indiana Statehouse

STATEHOUSE (March 7, 2022) – Carolyn Travis is serving as an intern for the Indiana Senate Majority Caucus during the 2022 legislative session, said State Sen. Eric Koch (R-Bedford).

Travis, a resident of Columbus, is the daughter of Kimberly Fogleman and David Travis. She graduated from Columbus East High School and earned a degree in horticulture from Purdue University in 2021.

"It's always great to have recent graduates here to help our team during the legislative session," Koch said. "Especially during a busy short session like this one, I'm thankful for Carolyn's dedication and hard work."

As a legislative intern, Travis tracks and analyzes bill data, provides constituent services, staffs Senate committee hearings and meetings, and conducts legislative policy research.

“It's been a great honor serving Hoosiers,” Travis said. " I look forward to a career in public service and continuing to represent our community at the Statehouse."

Senate Majority interns work through the duration of the legislative session, which is scheduled to end by March 14.

Sen. Koch, chairman of the Senate Committee on Utilities, serves Senate District 44, which includes all or parts of Bartholomew, Brown, Jackson, Lawrence and Monroe counties. He also serves on the Senate Committees on Commerce and Technology, Judiciary, Corrections and Criminal Law, Elections, and Family and Children Services. Koch can be reached via email at Senator.Koch@iga.in.gov or by phone at 800-382-9467.
