WASHINGTON — Congressman Bruce Poliquin, R-2nd District, invites individuals to apply for internship opportunities offered for the fall 2016 semester in his Washington, D.C. office and in his District offices in Bangor, Lewiston and Presque Isle.
Poliquin seeks professional, hardworking and self-motivated candidates who have a particular interest in public service, policy and government. During the fall program, interns can gain firsthand experience in the lawmaking process, work side by side with experienced full-time staff, and play an integral part in the daily operations of the office.
A typical day for Congressional interns includes welcoming constituents and guests to the office, researching legislation for the Congressman and policy staff, and answering constituent calls and letters on various issues before the House.
To apply, email a resume and cover letter to Poliquin.Internship@mail.house.gov specifying which office(s) you are interested in working in. Candidates applying for the Washington, D.C. office must be enrolled in a college or have a college degree to be considered. Individuals with ties to Maine are preferred.
The program in Congressman Poliquin’s Washington, D.C. office will run from August to early December.
