A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY

A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY,
I am very proud of the internship program in my offices in Albuquerque and in Washington, D.C. In fact, the Albuquerque Tribune recently did a feature on Brooke Greer, a very talented and driven senior from West Mesa High School who is currently serving an internship my Albuquerque office.

Brooke and the other students who have worked or are working in my office have helped my staff with research on legislative and local issues, attended briefings and meetings, and assisted with constituent correspondence and services.

One of the best ways to gain practical experience in government is through an internship. Not only does it give a young student a chance to learn about current issues and events, but it gives them invaluable experience if they decide to pursue a career in government or politics.

I want to hear from youth leaders, school counselors, those involved in mentorship programs, and others who know of students who might be interested in an internship opportunity in my office.
