WASHINGTON, D.C. – A South Amherst native was selected for an internship in the U.S. Senate. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced that Kali Hodgson is serving as a legislative intern in Brown’s Capitol Hill office. Hodgson is currently pursuing a degree in Political Science at The University of Utah.

“Ohio students – like Kali – 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.”

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to work in Senator Sherrod Brown’s office” Hodgson said. “It is important for me to have the ability to work with Senator Brown to address the concerns of Ohioans back at home.”

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.
