NASHVILLE-U.S. Congressman Jim Cooper today announced that he has appointed Effie Johnson to the position of staff assistant.
Johnson, a resident of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, will work closely with the chief of staff and communications director, while also providing general administrative support to the staff.
"I'm very pleased to have Effie join our staff," said Cooper. "Her poise and professionalism quickly impressed me, and she's already done wonderful work in her short time here. I look forward to working with her even more in upcoming years."
Johnson graduated this year with a bachelor's degree in government from Harvard University. She is a 2004 graduate of The Webb School in Bell Buckle, TN. While at Harvard, Johnson was very active in the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School of Government. During the summer of 2007, Johnson also served as an intern with the Central and West Africa (CEWA) division at the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs in Washington, D.C.
"I am so honored to have the opportunity to work for Congressman Cooper, who has proven to be one of the smartest and most sincere people on Capitol Hill," said Johnson. "His district and Washington D.C. staffs have welcomed me with open arms, and like them, I hope that I am able to use my resources to serve the great people of Middle Tennessee to the best of my ability."
