On Tuesday, my friend and colleague, Congressman Rodney Davis formally renamed the Congressional Internship Program for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (CIPIID) to the Gregg and Livingston Harper Congressional Internship Program for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities.
My son, Livingston Harper, has served as the inspiration for me during my time in Congress to focus on improving the lives of those with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). When I came to Congress and realized there was no internship program for individuals with ID, I worked with the Committee on House Administration to begin a program back in 2010. I and many others on Capitol Hill have been positively impacted by the influence and hard work of these interns. I am grateful to the Committee’s future Ranking Member, Rodney Davis, for seeing that the program will continue under his leadership.
