STATEHOUSE (Oct. 14, 2025) – Indiana House Republicans are seeking student interns for the 2026 legislative session, according to State Reps. Cindy Ledbetter (R-Newburgh) and Tim O'Brien (R-Evansville).
These paid, full-time internships are open to college students, recent graduates and students in graduate and law school. Ledbetter said the internship is an opportunity to gain practical knowledge of state government through active participation in the legislative process.
"House interns have an incredible opportunity to learn more about our state government while earning valuable professional experience," Ledbetter said. "They leave with transferable skills on top of a better understanding of the legislative process."
O'Brien 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.
"Our internship program offers a clear pathway for professional advancement," O'Brien said. "It is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain substantive experience in a fast-paced and unique environment."
Positions are available in legislative operations, policy and communications.
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 Oct. 31.
