Internship Opportunities

My office is pleased to offer internships to eligible graduate and college-level students in order to further a student's educational and professional goals. An internship in a congressional office affords students with a unique prospective into the manner in which the federal government functions. The internships are unpaid, but I will be glad to help you if you are requesting credit for your internship through your school or university.

Both part-time and full-time internships are available in the Washington, DC and Campbell, CA offices. Duties include attending legislative hearings and community meetings, writing briefs, conducting legislative research, drafting correspondence, and performing administrative tasks such as mail processing, data entry, answering telephones, and assisting staff when needed.

Prospective candidates should send a complete application packet to our office to be fully considered for an internship. A complete application includes:

• our completed application form
• a cover letter (including proposed start and end date)
• a resume

There is no application deadline. Interns are accepted throughout the year. Please keep in mind, however, that the summer is a popular time for internships, and there is a limit to the number of interns who may work in the office due to space constraints. Preference will be given to those residing in the fifteenth district of California.

If you have any further questions please contact the office in which you wish to apply.
