Intern Program
I invite you to apply as an intern in my office. You would
assist with the many different aspects and functions of day to
day operations in a congressional office. Interns provide the
office with a unique perspective and at the same time, are able
to learn about the legislative process and other facets of government.
I welcome interns from across the country and during any season or part of the school year. Intern opportunities exist in both DC and in the District offices. I ask that a prospective intern contact my Staff Assistant, Jennifer Kasten, in my DC office at: United States Representative I will then send you an information packet to begin the application process. An interested student would need to send me a completed application, a resume, an essay expressing your interest in becoming an intern, a list of three references, and any letters of recommendation that would be pertinent. An internship in a congressional office is a great way to see first hand how our government works, earn school credit, absorb a different culture, and add to your work experience. I look forward to hearing from you! Requirements: We are looking for individuals who are willing to work hard, have fun, participate in staff meetings and issue briefings with the Congresswoman, and are willing to be a primary source of assistance for the professional staff members in the office. Applicants should be college or graduate students. They should possess good communication skills (writing and speaking), be computer literate and flexible. Applicants should be able to make a minimum 4 week commitment and have consistent availability throughout their internships. Most importantly, they should be self-starters who display initiative and creativity. If you are interested you can either download the PDf version of the application or print out the application below to fill out and mail or fax into our office.
