Internships are offered for the Summer, Fall and Spring semesters in both Congressman Kinzinger’s Washington, DC and Ottawa, IL offices. Interns will observe the inner workings of a Congressional office while gaining firsthand knowledge of the legislative process. DC responsibilities include leading Capitol tours, answering phones, greeting constituents, assisting staff with legislative projects, and attending briefings and hearings. While preference is given to applicants from Illinois, I encourage all candidates with a strong work ethic and positive attitude to apply.

In order to apply, please download the application here. Send your resume, cover letter, and completed application to InternsIL16@gmail.com. Please specify what your internship schedule may look like and preferred start date.

Please note: The internship will be conducted in a hybrid setting with both in-person and virtual work days. Social distancing in accordance with DC public health guidelines will be strongly encouraged and adhered to.

Spring – November 12, 2021
