Externs will work during the legislative session, which runs from January through the end of March or early April. Externs will be assigned to one or more committees and will help Minority Caucus House members by summarizing assigned bills and statutes, drafting talking points and amendments, and performing public policy research involving the bill. Externs also may be requested by the Policy Office to write research memos on a specific legal or policy topic and to potentially communicate that work product to members.
The externship is hands-on and intensive. Due to the pace of the legislative process, this will be an entirely in-person experience.
Excellent writing and communication skills, detail oriented, high degree of maturity and discretion, and an interest in government.
