Internships

The Democratic Staff of the Committee on Rules is seeking part-time or full-time, energetic interns for the fall (September/October – mid-December). Our interns work closely with Committee staff to prepare materials for Committee meetings, conduct research projects, learn about the Rules of the House and the various procedures for legislation to reach the House Floor, and complete a variety of other administrative tasks. Ideal candidates have strong writing skills, a good work ethic, an interest in learning about House floor procedures, and are detail-oriented. Interns will gain experience in legislative analysis, political communications, and institutional processes.

Please apply below if you are interested in our internship. Please upload both your resume and a cover letter addressing why you want to work at the Rules Committee in particular.

A stipend will be available for qualified candidates. This opportunity can provide flexibility to candidates who are looking for full-time work and may need to leave before the end of the internship term. Massachusetts ties are a plus.

All offers are conditional on completion of a federal criminal background check. The office is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds or with untraditional experience to apply.
