The Kansas Legislature is accepting internship applications for students interested in learning about state politics.
Interns are responsible for helping legislators with research and constituent services.
John Potter, chief of staff of the Speaker Pro Tem Office, said the internship is an opportunity for students to gain experience with politics. It's a wonderful opportunity for students. You have to have experience to get a job, but you have to have a job to gain experience. Interns can work with the Senate or House of Representatives and choose a Republican or Democratic legislator. The internship is unpaid, with the exception of mileage for interns who live outside of Topeka.
