Benton residents calling U.S. Senator John Boozman’s Washington office this summer may have heard a familiar voice at the end of the line.
Colen Morrow, a 2019 graduate of Benton High School, participated in Boozman’s Congressional Summer Internship Program.
While in Washington, Morrow attended committee hearings and legislative briefings, worked with congressional staff on various state and federal projects, provided constituent services for Arkansans, attended lectures from a variety of speakers and shadowed Boozman for a day to get an idea of what his daily routine is like.
“I cannot thank Senator Boozman and his staff enough for allowing me to play a small part in serving Arkansans from across the state. The opportunity to spend the summer in our nation’s capital, where so many of the most consequential decisions in the world have taken place, has been an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life,” Morrow said.
“It was a pleasure having Colen in the office this summer. I am confident that he has gained new insight and valuable experience during his internship in Washington. I appreciate his commitment and dedication to serving Arkansans and being an ambassador for our office,” Boozman said.
Morrow is a rising junior at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where he is pursuing degrees in finance and political science. He is the son of Jeff and Miki Morrow.
