    WASHINGTON - This summer, U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock)
    welcomed Jessica Boujikian onto his summer staff. The 20 year-old
    hails from Fresno, California, and today completed her three month
    internship in Denham's Washington, D.C., office.

    Jessica was one of three summer interns in Rep. Denham's Washington,
    D.C. office. She was selected as one of five Fresno State college
    students to participate in the prestigious Maddy Institute Scholarship
    Intern Program in the nation's capital. As part of her internship
    responsibilities, Jessica was able to combine her experience and
    interest in the agriculture industry to produce bill summaries and
    briefing notes on some of this year's most important agriculture
    legislation, including the 2012 Farm Bill.

    `It's always an honor to welcome such hardworking young men and women
    to my staff for the unique opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of
    the federal legislative process,' said Rep. Denham. `Having Jessica on
    board this summer has been an invaluable benefit to our team, and I
    know that her hard work has made her family and friends in Fresno very
    proud.'

    `Coming to DC for me was all about trying to make sense of what I
    wanted to dedicate my life to,' Jessica Boujikian said. `Looking back
    now, I have learned that a political career is more than just a job
    you sign up for; it's a dedication to a lifestyle, a way of being that
    requires you to continuously build and adapt yourself while still
    holding on to the values and lessons you grew up with.'

    Boujikian will begin her junior year at Fresno State University, where
    she is majoring in Political Science. She is a Dean's List Honors
    student, who spends her time in California working on the family farm
    and volunteering in various capacities. Jessica will be graduating
    early from Fresno State and sees herself returning to D.C. in the near
    future.

    Jessica is the daughter of Shirley and Mark Boujikian.

    EDITOR'S NOTE: Jessica Boujikian is also the granddaughter of
    long-time community leader and activist Manas and Donalee Boujikian.
