Internships

Congressman Cliff Bentz is seeking spring interns for his Washington D.C. Office. Congressman Bentz is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Natural Resources Committee. Ideal candidates will be college students or recent graduates who are outgoing, proactive, hard-working, detail-oriented, enthusiastic, able to multi-task, and have customer service experience.

Interns will assist with many of the daily activities related to constituent relations and legislative research. Although no two days are the same, an intern may be expected to answer phones, greet Oregonians, attend policy meetings with other staff, and assist in managing constituent correspondences and administrative operations. Interns may also lead tours of the U.S. Capitol (should the Capitol building reopen to the public) and attend committee hearings.

Interns will be immersed in the congressional process and their work will provide valuable experience for future endeavors. The internship will generate the opportunity to foster excellent connections, learn about many issues affecting our state and country, gain expertise in any policy areas you might be interested in, and get a detailed look at what makes the United States the most enduring democracy in the world.

 Desired Availability:

Applicants should be able to commit to at least 20 hours per week. Office hours are 9:00AM – 5:00PM weekdays. The internship is in-person.
