Internships

Interning and learning about the legislative process, the House of Representatives, and constituent services is a valuable opportunity. In fact, many of my staff in my district office and my D.C. office started out as interns, either in my office or in other government offices.

Interns provide important support to a Congressional office, including giving Capitol tours to constituents, answering telephones, opening mail, researching legislative issues, and organizing constituent outreach. In return, an intern has the opportunity to learn about Congress, representative democracy, and a host of issues affecting our country and our region.
