Internships

I am pleased to offer congressional internships to those seeking legislative experience on Capitol Hill. Internships provide a tremendous opportunity to learn about the legislative process and to become more familiar with how our government operates.

Interns in my office will work closely with our legislative and press staff on a variety of issues. In addition to their work with the staff, interns will be asked to perform various administrative tasks that generally include, answering the office phones, opening and distributing mail, and responding to constituent correspondence. Every part of the internship is crucial to the day-to-day functioning of the office.

Internships are available year round and for variable lengths of time. Preference is given to those students and individuals from Arizona's 7th Congressional District, though consideration is given to all qualified applicants. Interns are unpaid, and are responsible for all lodging and transportation costs.

We are now accepting applications for Fall, Spring, and Summer internships. Due to delays in mail processing at U.S. House facilities, all applications must be received via fax. Please fax completed materials to (202)225-1541, addressed to Internship Coordinator.

To apply for an internship, an applicant must submit the following:
  • A cover letter which includes why you want to work in this office and your availability (dates and hours per week).
  • A resume
  • Most recent transcript (can be unofficial).
  • A short writing sample (no more than 3 pages).
* Note: The information above is for interning in the DC Office only. For information on interning in either the Tucson or Yuma district office, please contact our Tucson district office at (520) 622-6788.
