Students interested in gaining experience in the political arena may be interested in the internship opportunities available in my Capitol Hill and Illinois District Offices.  Internships are available throughout the year, including the Congressional Black Caucus Internship during the summer months. Both college and high school students are encouraged to apply. 

Responsibilities of congressional interns include answering telephones, opening and sorting mail, giving Capitol tours to constituents, tracking legislation or constituent casework, attending briefings with staff and preparing constituent correspondence.  These tasks give students an insiders view of the workings of Capitol Hill and enable them to become an integral part of the office. 

If you are interested in serving as an intern in my office please send a cover letter and resume to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Internships are available in the Fall, Spring and Summer. You can also mail your information to my Washington D.C. office.
