My office offers internships for Iowa college students throughout the year in my Washington, D.C. and state offices.
Interns will have the opportunity to learn about a wide-range of responsibilities. In the Iowa offices, interns will assist constituents and attend local events. In the Washington, D.C. office, interns will learn about the legislative process, give Capitol building tours and assist with constituent services.
Please note, many schools offer course credit for internships. Contact your school for more information.
