Internships

Due to ongoing health concerns, internship positions in both my Washington and District offices are entirely remote until further notice. Although this experience may be different than a typical congressional internship, I am confident the remote experience will provide exceptional experience and knowledge for dedicated, passionate individuals.

My office is committed to ensuring that internship participants have the tools and access they need to succeed in the remote environment. We will work with each intern to provide the equipment and resources necessary to carry out their responsibilities.

Washington, DC Office

In my Washington, D.C. office, the internship program runs throughout the fall, spring, and summer sessions. Internship hours can be flexible to accommodate students' course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m with the option of full-time and part-time positions.

General Internship

In Washington, D.C., interns’ responsibilities include answering phones, researching legislation, attending virtual hearings and briefings, and answering constituent letters on various issues before the House. Interns will also assist in various administrative tasks as needed. As a result, interns learn about the legislative process and the many other functions of a congressional office.

Candidates for the spring internship program should be extremely motivated, flexible, and detail-oriented, with the availability to begin in January. District ties are preferred but not required.
