Owen Valley High School graduate gains experience at Indiana Statehouse

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 18, 2025) – Colin Harris is serving as an intern for the Indiana Senate Majority Caucus during the 2025 legislative session, said Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray (R-Martinsville).

Harris, a native of Spencer, is the son of Craig and Cheri Harris. Harris graduated from Owen Valley High School and is a graduate of Indiana University with degrees in English and criminal justice.

"Interns are extremely helpful to the daily operations of the Senate, especially during a busy legislative session," Bray said. "I am always glad to have interns from our local community coming to the Statehouse to gain professional experience and am excited to have Colin interning with us this year."

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

"I am thankful for this opportunity to intern for the Senate, and I am looking forward to all I will experience and learn through my time at the Statehouse," Harris said.

Senate Majority interns work through the duration of the legislative session, which is scheduled to end by April 29.
