Will this high school political internship hurt me later on???

Hello Everyone,

I had an internship with Mayor Faulconer of San Diego (a moderate Republican) the summer before my senior year, during which I completed policy and public opinion research for his communications department. However, I identify as a leftist (I took the internship for the experience and because it was political) and would like to work for left-leaning political groups or people both in college and after graduation. Will the fact that I had a high school internship with a Republican hurt me? Or should I just not put it on my resume (most of the other interns were college students, so I feel like I should)? Please let me know what you guys think! Also, sorry for how poorly written this is; I wanted to get an answer ASAP.

I don’t think it’ll hurt you at all. You have a broader view and probably some interesting insights to add because you worked for the “other side”, so to speak. Totally add it to your resume!
