Washington D.C. Internship Opportunities

Oct 18, 2012

I am currently urging all college-aged students in Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District to apply for the spring 2013 internship in my Washington, D.C. office.

In the past, I have had many bright students intern in my office, and I look forward to having more in the future.
