Internships | Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández

Fall 2025 applications are NOW OPEN for our New Mexico office. Note: ALL DC internship slots have been filled for Fall 2025.

Interns will work with staff to serve the constituents of New Mexico's 3rd Congressional district. Our goal is to provide each intern with a meaningful experience that will enhance their understanding of Congress and give them the professional experience they need to further their career. Intern responsibilities may include but are not limited to:

Answering phones
Sorting mail
Drafting constituent correspondence
Assisting with events
Drafting social media
Attending briefings and hearings
Attending meetings with stakeholders
Administrative work as assigned

Internships in both the D.C. and District offices run throughout the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.

Interns are able to work on either a part-time or full-time basis.

Full time Interns are compensated with a $1,500 stipend per month unless sponsored by an outside organization. Part-time interns will receive a comparable stipend to their hours worked. Please note, unless an applicant is financially sponsored by an outside organization, House rules state that all paid House of Representative Interns must be United States citizens.

To be considered for an internship, please complete the application linked below.

Due to a high volume of applicants, a response is not guaranteed. You will likely only be contacted if you are selected for an interview. No phone calls or walk-ins please.

New Mexico ties are strongly preferred. This office is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate based on race, religion, disability, age, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, LGBTQ identification, family status, or military status.
