News Release

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana House Republicans are seeking student interns for the 2026 legislative session, according to State Reps. David Abbott, R-Rome City, and Craig Snow, R-Warsaw.

These paid, full-time internships are open to college students, recent graduates and students in graduate and law school. Abbott said the internship is an opportunity to gain practical knowledge of state government through active participation in the legislative process.

“The House Republican Internship Program offers students a hands-on experience to explore government and understand how laws are made,” Abbott said. “It’s a rewarding opportunity that can positively shape your career.”

Snow said interns will work in the Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis full time Monday through Friday during the legislative session, which starts in January and concludes in March.

“Now is the time for college students and recent graduates to apply for a House internship and benefit from this unique program,” Snow said. “I hope to see students from our area work with me and other lawmakers during the next legislative session.”

Positions are available in legislative operations, policy and communications.

Abbott said 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 participate in a weekly speaker series featuring Indiana civic leaders.

Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Friday, Oct. 31.
