STATEHOUSE – Indiana House Republicans are seeking student interns for the 2026 legislative session, according to State Reps. Chris May (R-Bedford) and Stephen Bartels (R-Eckerty).
These paid, full-time internships are open to college students, recent graduates, and graduate and law school students. May said the internship is an opportunity to gain practical knowledge of state government through active participation in the legislative process.
“Through the House internship program, students will work in a professional setting and see how policy impacts Hoosiers,” May said. “Participants have the chance to meet and work alongside state leaders on a variety of topics and issue areas.”
Bartels said interns will work full-time at the Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis, Monday through Friday, during the legislative session, which starts in January and concludes in March.
“The goal of these internships is to create hands-on experiences working in state government,” Bartels said. “We offer the opportunity to work on a wide range of issues and see what a legislative session looks like up close.”
Positions are available in legislative operations, policy, and communications.
Interns will be paired with a staff member to work directly with an assigned group of state representatives. During this spring semester internship, students will have opportunities to interact with state legislators, state agencies, and private-sector organizations, as well as to participate in a weekly speaker series featuring Indiana civic leaders.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
