Two Columbus North High School graduates are serving as interns for the Indiana Senate Majority Caucus during the 2024 legislative session, said State Sen. Greg Walker (R-Columbus).
Annabel Freeman of Columbus is the daughter of Anne and Andrew Freeman and is a sophomore studying natural resources and environmental science at Purdue University.
Miguel Salas Prieto of Columbus is the son of Miguel Salas and Ramona Prieto. Salas Prieto graduated from IUPUI with a degree in cybersecurity.
As a legislative assistant intern, Freeman tracks and analyzes bill data, provides constituent services, staffs Senate committee hearings and meetings and conducts legislative policy research.
“I am honored to play a small part in state government and to use my skills to assist legislators through this short session. I know this internship will provide me with connections and opportunities that will assist me throughout my future,” Freeman said.
As an IT intern, Salas Prieto helps senators and staff troubleshoot technology issues and run cameras and other equipment during committee meetings so hearings can be livestreamed online.
“I am happy to begin my IT career with the Indiana State Senate Republicans,” Salas Prieto said.
Senate majority interns work through the legislative session, which is scheduled to end by March 14.
