Hancock County lawmakers: Local students encouraged to apply for House internship
STATEHOUSE (Sept. 28, 2026) – Hancock County legislators are encouraging local students to apply for the Indiana House Republican Internship Program for the 2027 legislative session.
State Rep. Cory Criswell (R-Middletown) said this paid, full-time internship is open to college students, recent graduates and students in law or graduate school from January through April.
"Internships are the beginning of a much bigger professional journey," Criswell said. "I hope students who come to the Statehouse take advantage of the people they meet and the experiences they have as they consider what comes next."
State Rep. Ethan Lawson (R-Greenfield) said interns work in the Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis full-time Monday through Friday during the legislative session and gain practical knowledge of state government through active participation in the legislative process.
"It is important for students to have opportunities to explore their interests before making long-term career decisions," Lawson said. "This internship can help them learn what they enjoy, get exposed to public service and state issues, and become more prepared for their next step."
Positions are available in legislative operations, policy and communications.
State Rep. Chris Jeter (R-Fishers) said this spring semester internship gives interested students 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.
"An internship at the Statehouse gives students a head start that can pay dividends long after the legislative session ends," Jeter said. "The skills, relationships and experience they gain can help prepare them for whatever career path they choose."
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
