A congressional internship is an excellent opportunity to learn about the workings of government first hand. Internships are available for qualified college students, in both my Washington D.C. and Portland offices. Students who live in the first congressional district, and those students who arrange to receive college credit for their internship will be given priority consideration, but anyone who is interested is encouraged to apply.
Internships are available all year long.
Interns are a valued part of my offices. They assist staff with consituent mail, legislative research, filing, answering phones, giving tours, and much more. Additionally, there are interesting and informative lecture series, and numerous intern social organizations which help to round out the experience.
