Lucas County Native Selected for Internship in Sen. Brown's Capitol Hill Office

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A Lucas County native was selected for an internship in the U.S. Senate. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced that Ben Lynn of Oregon is serving as a legislative intern in Brown’s Capitol Hill office. Lynn is currently pursuing a degree in Political Science at the University of Toledo.                                                                                                     

“Ohio students – like Ben – exemplify how strong families, teachers, and Ohio communities continue to produce the next generation of world-class leaders,” Brown said. “An internship allows students from either Ohio schools or Ohio communities to serve their state while gaining invaluable experience by working on a wide range of projects.”

“It was a really great experience and I had a lot of fun and was able to experience Washington D.C. in a whole new way,” Lynn said.

Interns work alongside staff members to address constituent requests and concerns. In Washington, D.C. a typical day could include speaking with constituents on the phone, greeting visitors to the office, organizing incoming correspondence, attending Senate committee hearings and briefings, and leading tours of the U.S. Capitol Building.

Students may earn college credit in addition to the educational benefit and professional development opportunities.
