Internships

"I am proud to announce the opportunity for bright, dedicated individuals to join our team as interns in our Washington, D.C. and District Offices. This program provides a unique opportunity for young professionals to gain valuable experience, expand their knowledge of public service, and make a difference in the lives of our constituents.

Our interns play a critical role in our office by assisting with legislative research, drafting memos and correspondence, coordinating Capitol and DC-based tours, and providing a welcoming environment to constituents and visitors. In the District Office, interns will be involved in community outreach, attending meetings and events, and assisting with constituent casework.

Successful candidates will have excellent communication skills, a strong work ethic, a commitment to teamwork, and a genuine interest in public service. Interns will work approximately 35-40 hours per week, with part-time internships also available. This is a rewarding opportunity for those seeking to develop new skills and contribute to the betterment of our community."
