While most Capitol Hill internships never go beyond clerical duties, King is interested in developing interns’ skills and experiences both in and out of the office. Interns may become involved in public relations, learn about the day to day operations of the legislative branch, and become actively involved in personal policy interests.

Because Congressman King is a very active member of three committees, Judiciary, Agriculture, Small Business, there are many opportunities for interns to gain substantive, real-world experience working in a fast-paced and challenging environment. King’s interns are often asked to attend briefings, hearings, and press conferences and will also interact with the Congressman and his staff on a daily basis.

Interested applicants are asked to send a resume and a cover letter to the attention of Bentley Graves at Bentley.graves@mail.house.gov or by fax to 202-225-3193. The deadline for submission is November 19, 2007.

To find out more about the spring internships, visit www.house.gov/steveking/ or call Congressman King at (202) 225-4426.
