Internships/Page Program
Congressional Internships
I am happy to offer internship opportunities for undergraduate students who would like to learn first-hand about the workings of Capitol Hill. Interns have the opportunity to learn about the legislative process, interact with constituents, develop research skills, and assist with administrative responsibilities.
My internship program is open to college undergraduates, regardless of major. There are two different programs. The summer program consists of two sessions (six-weeks each) and can accommodate a maximum of five students per session. The academic year program is for undergraduates who are attending a DC-area college or who are participating in a semester in Washington program sponsored by a college or university. All internships are unpaid, and candidates are responsible for paying their travel and living expenses.
To apply, please download the Intern Application.
If you have questions, please contact my Washington, DC office at (202)225-1784.
Congressional Page Program
Pages are high school juniors, at least sixteen years old, that
work for the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate for one semester.
Four semesters are available: Fall, Spring, and two Summer sessions.
Pages attend Page School during the school year, and must have
a 3.0 grade point average before being accepted into the program.
A Page Resident Hall is provided, and the room and board is deducted
from their monthly pay checks.
Pages must be sponsored by a Member of Congress. Traditionally,
the Majority Party is awarded 54 pages per semester, and the Minority
Party receives 12. Therefore, it is not guaranteed that a Member will be able
to appoint a page at any particular time.
What Does a Page Do?
Page duties consist primarily of delivery of correspondence, legislative
material and small packages, such as boxed flags, within the Congressional
complex. A few Pages are assigned to answering phones in the Members'
Cloakroom, taking messages for the Members, calling them to the
phone if they are in the House Chamber and preparing the House
Floor for sessions. Still others man a telephone bank of incoming
requests for page service. A rotation system is practiced so that
every Page has an opportunity to experience the various areas of
service. |
