STATEHOUSE – Logansport native Myah Yax is gaining experience as an intern with State Rep. Ethan Manning (R-Logansport) and his fellow members of the Indiana House of Representatives during the 2025 legislative session.

Yax, a Logansport High School graduate, is the daughter of Kara and Ryan Yax. She is currently a junior at Purdue University, and majoring in psychology and political science.

“I have loved getting firsthand experience with lawmakers and the legislative process,” Yax said. “I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet so many amazing people.”

As a legislative intern, Yax corresponds with constituents through phone calls, letters and emails while also staffing committee hearings and floor proceedings.

“Myah is doing impactful work as a legislative intern at the Statehouse this session,” Manning said. “Her contributions are incredibly helpful to both our members and constituents, and this experience will serve her well in her career aspirations.”

At the start of each year, the House of Representatives offers paid internship opportunities to college students, law-school students, graduate students and recent college graduates for the duration of the annual legislative session.
