OKC Native Completes Internship in Cole Office

WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) recently bid farewell to summer intern Katherine Rainbolt. Rainbolt was chosen by Cole to participate in the internship program in Washington, DC.

“The summer internship program is an excellent opportunity for students like Katherine to see the inner workings of our government up close,” Congressman Cole said. “Katherine’s enthusiasm and loyal work ethic made her a vital asset this summer. She made a positive impression on my staff and I know she'll be missed around our office.”

Cole’s summer internship program allows college upperclassmen to work in a Congressional office, attend hearings, give Capitol tours to constituents, compile press clips and aid legislative staff with projects.

“Working on Capitol Hill has deepened my understanding of our system of government and enhanced my pride in America and its institutions,” Rainbolt said. “It has greatly increased my desire to continue my involvement in our American future.”

Rainbolt is the daughter of Dr. Leslie Rainbolt and Mr. Scott Forbes of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She will be a senior at Washington University in St. Louis and is majoring in art history with a minor in psychology. After graduation Rainbolt hopes to return to Washington, DC to work on a congressional staff and potentially attend Georgetown Law School.
