Moran Accepting Applications for Spring 2009 Internships

Press Release

Congressman Jerry Moran today announced that he is accepting applications for congressional internships in his Washington, D.C., Hays, Hutchinson and Salina offices for the spring 2009 term.

"My own interest in public service was sparked by a congressional internship in 1974," Moran said. "As an intern, I was able to see firsthand how a congressional office operates and observe the legislative process. These same opportunities are available to Kansans that intern in my office."

The goal of the congressional internship is to give young adults the opportunity to participate in public service. Applications for the spring are due by Friday, November 14, 2008. Intern responsibilities include assisting Moran and his staff with legislative and administrative projects. The spring internship session begins in January and ends in May.

To apply for an internship, students should submit a completed application form, cover letter, résumé, college transcript and three letters of reference. The cover letter should explain the student's interest in public service and the goals the student hopes to achieve by participating.

Application forms can be obtained under the "Services" section of Moran's Web site at www.jerrymoran.house.gov. In order to ensure timely receipt of the application, students are encouraged to fax their applications to (202) 225-5124. If students are unable to fax their applications, they may mail them to Moran's Hutchinson office, Attn: Intern Coordinator, P.O. Box 1128, Hutchinson, KS 67504. Students may call (202) 225-2715 with questions or to obtain more information.
