Indiana House Republicans are seeking interns for the 2026 legislative session to work directly in state government. Hendricks County legislators announced that the program is open to college students, recent graduates, and those in graduate or law school. State Rep. Greg Steuerwald described the internship as “an opportunity to gain practical knowledge,” noting that interns will actively participate in the legislative process, according to the Indiana House of Representatives.
State Rep. Jeff Thompson emphasized the value of the program, saying, “Having professional experience through opportunities like internships is crucial for students when seeking employment after graduating.” The full-time internship provides students with hands-on experience in government and opportunities to network with Indiana lawmakers and industry leaders, as reported by the Indiana House of Representatives.
State Rep. Craig Haggard announced that internships in legislative operations, policy, and communications are now open. Interns will be paired with staff members and work with state legislators, agencies, and private sector representatives. “Interns are a crucial part of the legislative team,” Haggard said. State Rep. Becky Cash added, “By interning at the Statehouse, students get a hands-on learning experience that can make all the difference on a resume and in their future career.” Applications are available online and are due by October 31, as stated by the Indiana House of Representatives.
