Chloey Sabens, a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, with a degree in food science and nutrition is making her mark at the Indiana Statehouse. The Washington County native has wrapped up an internship that put her at the confluence of Hoosier politics and policy during the 2025 legislative session. Working with State Rep. Chris May (R-Bedford) and others, Sabens gained hands-on experience in government operations, an opportunity she described as immensely beneficial.
As reported by IndianaHouseRepublicans.com, Sabens handled correspondence with constituents, and was directly involved with committee hearings and floor proceedings. Despite juggling the rigors of these tasks, with the demands of a legislative environment, she found the internship to be "rewarding work that makes an impact." Within this capacity, her role extended beyond the clerical, providing her a front-row seat to the legislative process in Indiana.
The internship that Chloey participated in is not an isolated training ground. Instead, it's one chapter of an ongoing narrative where the Indiana House of Representatives extends paid opportunities to college students, recent graduates, and those in advanced educational pursuits to gain professional experience annually. Rep. Chris May emphasized the value such internships impart, saying legislative interns like Chloey are "incredibly helpful to both members and constituents and will no doubt benefit her in the future," as mentioned on the Indiana House Republicans website.
