Testimonials:

“Having the opportunity to intern with Congressman Burlison was a great experience for me. I was able to learn so much more about Congress and I appreciate how willing the office was to help the other interns and I with whatever we needed. We were able to work on fun and engaging projects that helped me grow as a person. I definitely recommend anybody considering this internship to apply.”

"I had a tremendously positive experience during my time working for Congressman Eric Burlison. The entire team, including the Congressman himself, was not only incredibly welcoming but also exceptional to work with. This opportunity provided me with invaluable insights into the inner workings of the House of Representatives, and I honed essential skills such as networking, research, communication, and teamwork.

One of the highlights of my internship was being involved in the UFO hearing and contributing to the behind-the-scenes preparations. This experience was not only fascinating but also a testament to the importance of the work done in Congressman Burlison's office.

I wholeheartedly recommend interning in Congressman Eric Burlison's office to anyone seeking an opportunity to make a meaningful impact and develop a deeper understanding of how dedicated public servants represent their constituents in District 7. This internship was not only a valuable learning experience but also a chance to be part of a team that truly goes above and beyond for the community."
