Internships

I am always happy to provide internships to qualified students in both of my offices. A Congressional internship provides a unique opportunity to learn more about the political and legislative process. Students also learn about vital community organizations and develop a better understanding of the Federal, State and local governments.

Interns in the Washington office draft constituent correspondence, attend briefings and Congressional hearings, and prepare memorandum for me and members of my staff. They also help answer telephones and assist with data entry. Interns in the Bayside office conduct research, assist with constituent casework, draft correspondence and answer telephones.

If you would like to apply for an internship, please send a resume, cover letter and a one page writing sample to the office in which you would like to intern.
