Intern with Congressman Becerra
Friends and Neighbors,
I wanted to make you aware of the exciting summer internship opportunities available for college students in my offices in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Although unpaid, interns walk away from what I hope is a rewarding and fun experience with a wealth of knowledge about how our nation's political system works.
