All interns assist Congressman Doggett and the District Office staff as an integral part of the public service provided by our office (constituent services and community outreach; limited legislative work). Interns in the District Office will be responsible for responding to constituent requests; recording of constituent opinions on legislative and other issues; assisting with constituent casework; communicating with constituents; and handling outreach and other projects as needed. They will also assist the Congressman and/or staff at events throughout the district. Internships are paid and are available for class credit. Deadline for consideration for a Fall 2025 internship will be July 18, 2025, although we recommend applying as soon as possible as decisions are made on a rolling basis.
