Internships

The Democratic Staff of the Committee on Rules regularly provides both full- and part-time internships. 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.
