Intern with the Meehan Campaign

Pat Meehan, a Republican candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, is looking for enthusiastic and motivated interns to work on the campaign during the fall of 2010. The race for the 7th Congressional seat has been ranked as one of the top 10 most competitive races in the country and will provide interns with the opportunity to gain valuable experience in a campaign that is quickly gaining national attention. Selected candidates will work closely with the campaign’s professional staff and are expected to make genuine contributions to Pat’s efforts.

Specific work responsibilities include fundraising, grassroots efforts, coalition development and communications. Interning on a campaign can be stressful, demanding and time consuming, but it can also be intensely rewarding. As a Meehan intern, you will both learn from your experiences and build relationships with some of Pennsylvania's most prominent political names. 

Here are what some of our current Team Meehan interns have to say about their experiences so far:

"I never would have imagined that entering my sophomore year of college I would have the chance to work on one of the most competitive and exciting elections in the country. My internship started the week of the primary election and it took off at hyper speed. Having seen the day-to-day hard work that goes into a campaign, the lessons I continue to learn reinforce everything I've learned about politics in the classroom." -Anthony from Pottstown

"Not only did I grow professionally this summer, the campaign helped me outside of the office as well. This has been the best internship I have participated in to date and I am grateful for the experiences I have gained and, more importantly, the friends I have made." -Simon from Minnesota 

Candidates should be familiar with Microsoft Office programs, have strong interpersonal skills and must be eager to tackle any task assigned to them. Interns are responsible for bringing their own laptop. Prior political campaign experience is preferred, but not required.
