Work with Assembly Democrats

The Assembly Democratic Caucus offers a range of opportunities for those interested in public service to engage with the State Legislature. From internships, fellowships, to full-time employment, we are looking for individuals with a passion for serving Wisconsinites to join our team!

The Assembly Democratic Caucus is looking for students or recent graduates who are interested in getting first-hand experience working in legislative offices. Internships with an Assembly Democratic office provide valuable, hands-on involvement in the political process and a behind-the-scenes look at office operations. During their internships, interns have the opportunity to work closely with staff and legislators, attend committee hearings and legislative proceedings, and build a personal network in Wisconsin politics.

We are looking for interns with strong writing skills, familiarity with state politics, and passion for assisting constituents. Interns are expected to work 8-20 hours per week between the hours of 9 am – 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Internships are unpaid but students can receive course credit for their work.

There are three internships sessions each year:

Spring Semester Internships (January to May)
Summer Internships (May to August)
Fall Semester Internships (August to December)
