Reps. McNamara, O’Brien: Applications now open for 2025 Statehouse internships
STATEHOUSE (Aug. 28, 2024) – Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to State Reps. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) and Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville).
O’Brien said the Indiana House of Representatives offers a spring semester internship at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session, which will start in January and conclude in April. House Interns earn $900 biweekly and work full time, Monday through Friday.
“The Indiana Statehouse is a great place to build connections that can help interns achieve their career goals,” O’Brien said. “The internship can lead to a job in state government or a variety of other fields.”
McNamara, a former House intern, said internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns get free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and opportunities to earn academic credits through their college or university.
“A House internship is a tremendous opportunity for young Hoosiers to use the knowledge and skills they learned in the classroom and apply it at the Statehouse,” McNamara said. “Working during a legislative session can really boost an intern’s resume.”
Internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns get free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and opportunities to earn academic credits through their college or university.

The program offers opportunities for students to work in various departments related to their studies, including legislative operations, policy and communications. Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
