Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) is seeking internship applications for the fall semester in his Washington, Rapid City, Aberdeen, and Sioux Falls offices. The internship program will run from September through December.
Duties will include researching legislation, writing memos, attending committee hearings and briefings, answering constituent phone calls, sorting mail, and providing support to the staff and the Member of Congress.
Interns will be given the opportunity to develop their research, writing, and communications skills while working closely alongside legislative and communications staff.
