I run an internship program accepting college students interested in learning about the operations of a congressional office.

Military Academy Nominations
Each member of Congress, either in the House of Representatives or the Senate, is allowed a total of five appointees in each service academy. For each vacancy, I am allowed to nominate ten individuals. Learn more about the Military Academy nominations process.
Page Program
Unfortunately, the United States House of Representatives Congressional Page Program has come to an end. After careful consideration, Speaker of the House John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have decided to discontinue the 184 year-old program due to high costs and advancements in automation and technology that have reduced the need for services once provided by Pages. If you have any questions regarding the closure of the Page Program, please feel free to contact my Washington, D.C. staff at 202-225-4540.
