Ross Introduces Summer Interns from Prescott 
 
(Washington, D.C.) Fourth District Rep. Mike Ross (D, AR) Friday announced the second session of summer interns in his Washington, D.C. office.  Prescott natives Elizabeth Thompson, Megan Taylor and Traci Graham are assisting constituents and staff members on various projects, as well as attending seminars and workshops on leadership and government.

“I am very proud of this group of interns, who are already hard at work in the nation’s capital,” said Ross.  “Our office internships are designed to familiarize students with the inner-workings of the federal government while teaching the importance of public service.  Congressional internships provide once in a lifetime opportunities for students to immerse themselves in all aspects of the legislative process, and I am confident this experience will be rewarding.  This is a very bright group of students, and I know they will be successful in all their future endeavors.”

Thompson is a junior at the University of Arkansas where she is majoring in political science and criminal justice.  She is currently involved in Campus Crusades for Christ and the University of Arkansas Young Democrats.  Thompson is the daughter of Phil and Janet McAdams.

The daughter of Bill and Karen, Taylor is a sophomore at the University of Arkansas where she is majoring in advertising and public relations.  She is a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority where she serves as public relations chair and is active in the University of Arkansas Razorback Booster Club.  Taylor is also an active member of the Wesley Foundation and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.

A senior at the University of Central Arkansas, Graham is majoring in sociology with an emphasis in criminology.  She is a member of the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, the UCA basketball team and the Alpha Kappa Delta Sociological Honors Society.  Graham is the daughter of Jimmy and Linda Graham.
