Fishers native, Emily Gebhardt, is working as an intern with State Rep. Chris Jeter and members of the Indiana House of Representatives during the 2025 legislative session.

Gebhardt is a Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate and the daughter of Susan and Doug Gebhardt. She is currently studying at Purdue University as a junior, majoring in communications and minoring in management.

"Working at the Statehouse has been my favorite professional experience so far," Gebhardt stated. She expressed appreciation for the opportunity to connect with state representatives and engage in the legislative process, describing it as an exciting semester.

In her role as a communications intern, Gebhardt writes press releases, creates legislative handouts, updates web pages, and produces podcasts. Her contributions, according to Jeter, are valuable: "The work Emily is doing as a communications intern is helpful to both legislators and constituents alike."

The Indiana House of Representatives offers paid internships annually to college, law-school, and graduate students, as well as recent college graduates. These opportunities coincide with the legislative session's duration.
