Internships


My internship program is a great opportunity for students to learn first-hand about public service and the workings of the U.S. Senate. Interns gain knowledge of the federal legislative process and the day-to-day work that goes into researching, drafting, and passing a bill in the Senate. They will learn about the issues that are of great concern to my Idahoan constituents and me. I welcome and encourage all college students to apply for my internship program.

Internships are open to undergraduate students of all majors, and while preference is given to Idaho residents, all students are encouraged to apply.

Intern projects include, but are not limited to, legislative research and constituent services.
