Internships

Internships are available in my Washington and District Offices.

WASHINGTON:

In Washington, internships run throughout the fall, spring or summer semesters for college students only. Although all internships in all offices are unpaid, students gain invaluable work experience. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. when Congress is in session, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when not in session.

In Washington, interns' responsibilities will vary. They will be asked to answer phones, run errands, research legislation for the Member and legislative staff, attend hearings and briefings and answer constituent letters on various issues before the House. As a result, interns learn about the legislative process and the many other functions of a congressional office.

If you are attending college and are interested in serving in my Washington office, please send your resume and a cover letter to:

In my Syracuse or Palmyra district offices, interns may be asked to do a variety of things, including day-to-day office work such as answering phones, writing letters and assisting with media clips.
