Congressman Tom Cole

Representing the 4th District of Oklahoma

Internships

As a member of Congress, it is an honor to invest in our future leaders by offering internships in Lawton, Ada, Norman and Washington, DC. 

What We Look for in an Intern

  • Currently attending or recently graduated from a college or university. Preference is given to upperclassmen and those with ties to Oklahoma
  • There is no GPA requirement, but a higher GPA increases chance of consideration
  • Internships are based on merit. Applicants should have leadership abilities, an interest in civics and politics and upstanding moral character

Oklahoma Internships

District interns are able to observe and assist our staff with constituent services, which primarily includes casework. Tasks and focus of projects varies by office assignment, but all interns typically provide assistance with answering phones, greeting constituents, filing and archiving of office records, helping with mailing projects and researching an issue or agency.

For all inquiries about opportunities in one of my Oklahoma offices in Lawton, Ada or Norman, please call 405-329-6500 and ask to speak with the district director. Please complete the online internship form below to submit your application.
