My offices in Washington and Colorado exist for one reason and one reason only: to serve the people of the Fifth District of Colorado.  There is an enormous amount of work involved in serving a district of more than five hundred thousand constituents, and interns are a vital component in helping my staff and I with this mission.

Students who are interested in an internship may choose between my Colorado Springs and Washington, D.C. offices.  As an intern, you will gain experience in a congressional office and learn first-hand how Congress operates.  Interns have the opportunity to attend congressional hearings, assist the case workers, press secretary and legislative assistants with day-to-day projects and research, write letters and respond to constituent requests.  Administrative tasks such as answering the phones, opening mail and greeting guests are also part of the intern experience.

Interested applicants must be enrolled in a four or two year college or university and be in good academic standing.  Preference is given to students with Colorado connections.

Interns are required to work 40 hours per week and are responsible for all housing, health insurance and transportation costs.  Salary is $1,200 per month before taxes.
