Spring 2026 Congressional District Office Internship

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 Spring 2026 internship will be December 5, 2025, although we recommend applying as soon as possible as decisions are made on a rolling basis. 

Requirements:
-Strong communication, phone, writing, and computer skills are essential.
-The atmosphere of a Congressional office can be very fast-paced and highly demanding. A professional, courteous manner is expected at all times.
- Must be available a minimum of 20 hours per week, minimum of 4-hour shifts. All day, as well as Tuesday and Thursday availability a plus. The office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
