WASHINGTON-Today, Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.) recognized Johnny Djema for completing a summer internship in his Danville, Kentucky District office. During his internship, Johnny assisted with general office work, met and spoke with 1st Congressional District constituents, and assisted Congressman Comer's Field Representatives to ensure local issues were addressed.

"In my Danville Office, Johnny was critical in assisting my Field Representative, and I want to thank him for his service to the 1st Congressional District. His work this summer was critical in helping me and my staff address concerns from constituents in Central Kentucky.

I learned how to communicate effectively with constituents and outreach initiatives. Most importantly, I have learned that being accessible and responsive to the needs of the public is one of the most vital parts of a representative's duty," said Mr. Djema.
