Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Charles W. Boustany, Jr., (R-Southwest Louisiana), today announced two internships for motivated students or recent graduates in his Washington, D.C. office.

“Internships provide an opportunity for young people to learn about our government and the political process from the inside,” Boustany said.  “Many of Louisiana’s best and brightest have worked for me for a summer or semester in our nation’s Capitol, and I greatly appreciate their efforts.”

Two competitive internship positions are available in Boustany’s Washington office.  Interns conduct a variety of tasks including legislative research, attending Congressional hearings, assisting with press relations and interacting with constituents.  Schedules are flexible to accommodate students.

Interested students and recent graduates should submit a cover letter and resume before February 13, 2009 to Jeff Dobrozsi at jeff.dobrozsi@mail.house.gov or fax to (202) 225-5724.  Questions should be directed to the Washington D.C. office at (202) 225-2031.
