Simpson, Mike Idaho Congressman
•Qualifications
" Some students are concerned
that grade point average might be the sole criteria for selection
of an intern. Others are concerned that, because they have not been
politically active in campaigns or because they are not Pre-Law
or Political Science majors, they might not be qualified. This is
absolutely not the case. My staff and I deal with a wide range of
issues, and everyone has something to contribute to our office.
We are looking for someone with a strong interest in our nation's
government who is willing to work hard, and who is ready for an
exciting few months in Washington, D.C. If you fit this profile,
I encourage you to apply. Applications deadlines for these two-month
positions change according to the time of year, so contact my office
as soon as possible."

Application, 3 references with contact information, resume, academic
