Local Graduate Working at Statehouse

A La Porte High School graduate is gaining professional experience as an intern with the Indiana House of Representatives. Matt Parrette is working the current legislative session, which is expected to end by the end of this month.


Parrette is the son of Chad and Jennifer Parrette, and is currently attending Purdue University, majoring in History and Political Science.

 

As a legislative intern, he corresponds with constituents through phone calls, letters and emails while also staffing committee hearings and floor proceedings.

 

"Interns are a vital asset to our team, and I appreciate their hard work and dedication," said State Representative Jim Pressel of Rolling Prairie.

 

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.
