Unfortunately, congressional offices are given a limited supply of tour tickets each week for the White House, FBI, Supreme Court, and Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Calling ahead, well in advance, is necessary to ensure ticket availability. I am pleased to assist constituents of the 5th Congressional District in requesting American flags flown over the Capitol Building and dedicated to any person, organization or event of their choice. Flags can also be flown on any specific date, including weekends and holidays. Each flag is sent individually boxed and includes a certificate of dedication.
Internships are available in either the Washington, D.C. office or in Chicago.
Preference for all internships are given to residents of Chicago. General intern responsibilities include answering telephones, data entry, responding to constituent requests, attending Congressional hearings, conducting legislative research, assisting with constituent casework and special projects. In the busy atmosphere of a Congressional office, it is important that interns are mature and professional. A well-organized person who is able to take initiative, follow instructions, perform well under pressure and relate well with others is important. Congressional internships are unpaid.
