Congressional offices provide excellent opportunities for students to learn more about the American system of government. Although constituents receive priority, applicants do not have to be residents of the 23rd District. Please note that I typically receive many internship applications. The internships are unpaid, but I will be glad to help you if you are requesting credit for your internship through your school or university.

Washington Office:

In my Washington office, interns work closely with my staff on a variety of legislative projects. Duties include attending legislative hearings and meetings, writing briefs, conducting legislative research, drafting correspondence, and performing administrative tasks such as mail processing, data entry, answering telephones, and assisting staff when needed.

District Offices: 
The responsibilities of interns in the district offices include researching the many constituent inquiries for information concerning federal agencies and assisting staff. General office duties are also expected. There is no application deadline. Interns are accepted throughout the year. Please keep in mind, however, that the summer is a popular time for internships, and there is a limit to the number of interns who may work in the office due to space constraints. Internships are offered at the Santa Barbara office and Port Hueneme office.

If you are interested in obtaining an internship, please print and fill out my intern application form and fax it, along with the supplemental material, to the appropriate office.

If you have any further questions please contact the office in which you wish to apply.
