Those interested in communications are invited to apply for a D.C. press and digital internship. A typical day for press and digital interns may include working with the press team to monitor media, assisting with press releases, helping prepare for interviews and press conferences, and creating posts and other digital products for the senator’s social media channels.
Interns in the Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, and Savannah offices will focus on constituent services and learn how we support the people of Georgia.
