Lewis Accepting Applications For 2019 Winter/Spring Internships

A release from State Senator Jason Lewis:

Senator Jason Lewis is looking for civic-minded individuals interested in a winter-
spring internship in his State House office. State Senator Jason Lewis proudly represents the
people of the Fifth Middlesex District of Massachusetts, which includes the cities and towns of
Malden, Melrose, Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, and parts of Winchester. He has been a leader
in shaping public policy on a range of issues important to his district, region and the state,
including healthcare, education, and economic opportunity for all.

Interns will have the unique opportunity to experience policy making, politics and government
from the inside. Although unpaid, interns will obtain meaningful experience by witnessing and
participating in the day-to-day functioning of a State Senate office.

Interns will report mainly to Lizzi Tran, Constituent Affairs Director, and will be responsible for
assisting with a variety of tasks, ranging from constituent correspondence to legislative research
to database management to communications and social media projects. In addition, interns will
have the opportunity to attend events, hearings, and meetings in the State House. Interns in
Senator Lewis's office will gain the satisfaction of serving the Commonwealth and will be able to
add valuable experience to their resume.

Interns must have excellent written and verbal communication skills, a high level of attention to
detail, and good overall professionalism. Candidates must also be comfortable with Microsoft
Office, Google applications, and major social media platforms. Preference will be given to
college students and young adults, but high school students will also be considered.
Winter/Spring internships generally span from late January to early April. Hours are negotiable,
ranging from 10-14 hours per week.

Candidates with a particular interest in communications, public relations, graphic design, video
production or social media should indicate so in their application.

Candidates should send a resume, brief letter of interest, and writing sample to
Elizabeth.Tran@masenate.gov by Friday, Jan. 4, 2019. References should be available upon
request. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so interested parties are encouraged to
apply promptly. For questions, please call (617) 722-1206.
