College students and recent graduates interested in government and public service are invited to apply for a chance to spend the summer working closely with Rep.

As a former congressional intern myself, I know firsthand the opportunities that these experiences can unlock, and I encourage anyone with interest to apply!”
Interns will have the opportunity to research legislation, interface directly with constituents, draft letters, compile media clips and attend legislative hearings, briefings and seminars.
Applicants must be enrolled in a college or university or have recently graduated. Students with connections to Alabama that will have completed their sophomore or junior years in an undergraduate program by June 2026 are strongly encouraged by Sewell’s office to apply.
