Hey! So, I’m a rising junior in central New Jersey and I would be really interested in getting an internship or something of that sort at a political campaign (preferably a liberal one) over the summer. Does anyone know of any such campaigns in my area? And if so, how do you get one? Do you just email them or something? I really don’t know how to approach these kind of things. Thanks!
Contact people you admire who are running for office in your area via his/her website and send an email. Most congress people and senators hire interns to work on their campaigns. People running for state and local offices do this as well but may be less organized.
Look on Hillary Clinton’s website, try to contact someone from her campaign and see if they have an internship program.
I think this has great potential, we’re in a perfect time period! Please update with suggestions or personal experience
Are you looking to be a volunteer or to be hired in an actual unpaid internship? Lots of campaigns are looking for volunteers. Not every one views volunteers and interns as synonyms.
