Summer 2024 - Internships/Fellowships

Congressional Intern - House Representative Elise Stefanik

By
Aidan Atwell

In the summer of 2024, I spent 9 weeks interning in the Washington D.C. office of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. I spent 4 of these weeks in the personal office, and 5 weeks in the GOP Conference Office. By spending time in both, I experienced both the constituent-facing and legislative side of the personal office and the party coordination and communications side of the leadership office.
