Legislator Kevan M. Abrahams’ Intern Of The Week:
Brianna Taylor
Legislator Kevan Abrahams (D - Freeport) is hosting nine summer interns representing different communities across Nassau County. During their Legislature internship, students will learn how to help with constituent concerns, community relations, and legislative initiatives. “It is my office’s goal to provide these students with a hands-on education in the operation of local government and how it works to shape Nassau County,” said Legislator Abrahams.
Brianna Taylor is one of Legislator Abrahams’ youngest interns. The 16-year-old Freeport resident is a rising junior who enjoys studying history - particularly American history and government. After high school, she hopes to attend Cornell University and major in political science before becoming a New York State Senator or a prosecutor in a Special Victims Unit.
“As a New York Senator, I would work on women’s health care rights, mass incarceration, prison reform, and police brutality,” Taylor said.
In addition, she has a keen interest in enhancing public education. “In my community, I feel like public schools in Legislative District 1 should be funded more so their technology and infrastructure can be up to par like those of other school districts,” she said.
