About the Presenter
Gregg Harper
Gregg is a Fragile X dad to Livingston and is an NFXF team member, assisting with our advocacy efforts. He has long advocated for Fragile X, notably during his five terms representing Mississippi’s 3rd Congressional District. During his time in Congress, he served as a member of the influential House Committee on Energy and Commerce which has jurisdiction over a broad swath of the economy including healthcare, energy, transportation, and telecommunications. During his time in Congress, most of his colleagues had an opportunity to meet Livingston and be introduced to Fragile X. In 2010, Gregg established the Congressional Internship Program for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities. It is a unique program designed to give students with varying intellectual disabilities an opportunity to gain Congressional work experience. Upon his retirement, the name was changed to the Gregg and Livingston Harper Congressional Internship Program for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities.
