Both the Milwaukee and the Madison offices offer semester-long internship programs in the fall, spring and summer. These are rewarding experiences for students who would like to experience first hand the workings of a government office.

Interns are an important part of the office structure, and they are responsible for a variety of essential tasks. Internship applicants must have strong written and verbal communication skills. In addition, applicants must have a strong work ethic, an understanding of commitment, and the ability to work independently on complex tasks.

The Milwaukee and Madison deadline for spring internships will be August 11, 2006.

The internship programs are competitive and it is recommended that prospective interns contact the appropriate state Senate office as early in the semester prior to their internship as possible. If you are interested in doing an internship in Milwaukee, please call, or send your cover letter, a writing sample and resume to the attention of Katie Topinka, in my Milwaukee office listed below.
