U.S. Representative Bennie G. Thompson (MS-02) announced the selection of Duck Hill, Mississippi native, Earvin Miers, to serve in the role of Scheduler in his Washington, D.C. office.

“Earvin interned in my office during the summer of 2017 and proved himself to be an ambitious young man with a strong work ethic.” Thompson said. “I know his passion for the state of Mississippi, and it is wonderful to see young residents of the second congressional district work towards giving back to our state. I welcome Earvin to my office with confidence that he will be an asset to our team.”

Earvin graduated from Grenada High School in 2015 and received a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Political Science from Millsaps College in 2019. While at Millsaps, he was active with nonprofit organizations both in the state of Mississippi and in Washington, D.C. He has interned and worked with other organizations such as One Voice,  Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Time On The Hill, Mississippi Democratic Party, The Diamond Project, Mississippi State Conference NAACP, and Mississippi Votes. Earvin is also a 2018 alumni of the Political Leadership Development Program hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute. Earvin plans to continue his academic career in pursuing a Master’s in Integrated Marketing and Communications while continuing his work for the state of Mississippi.
