The following information is for parents. Please contact my office for assistance with any questions or problems you may have.

The annual high school art competition that I sponsor in the 14th Congressional District. Learn more about the House of Representatives' nation-wide high school arts competition.

My offices run an internship program at both my district and Washington offices that accept college students interested in learning about the operations of a Congressional office. In addition to general office support, interns will assist staff with constituent relations, policy and outreach efforts. Many duties will be administrative in nature, but interns may also be asked to staff me at meetings in the district or assist my legislative staff in Washington. Interns are also encouraged to attend hearings, lectures, and seminars available in Congress and around the Hill.
