The Indiana Senate Republican Caucus is offering paid spring-semester internships in its communications, information technology, legal, legislative, page and policy offices during the 2024 legislative session.
Qualified candidates may be of any major and must be at least a college sophomore. Recent college graduates, as well as graduate and law school students, are also encouraged to apply. Positions are open to Indiana residents, as well as nonresidents who attend an Indiana college or university.
Interns earn a $900 biweekly stipend and benefit from scholarship and academic credit opportunities, professional development, community involvement and networking.
Senate internships are full-time positions at the Statehouse in Downtown Indianapolis that typically begin with a mandatory orientation in late December and conclude at the end of the legislative session in March 2024.

The Descendants of Edward & Ethel (Cripe) Rautenkranz in Wabash County was honored with a centennial Hoosier Homestead Award at the Indiana State
Fairgrounds Wednesday, Aug. 16, for being in operation since 1920.
The Hoosier Homestead Award program honors families who have made significant contributions to Indiana agriculture. In the past 47 years, more than 5,800 farms have received the honor.
Congratulations to these farms for their years of success and dedication. I am proud to serve a district of hardworking individuals, and I look forward to seeing what these families continue to do for Indiana agriculture.
To be named a Hoosier Homestead, farms must be owned by the same family for at least 100 consecutive years and consist of more than 20 acres or produce more than $1,000 of agricultural products per year. The award distinctions are Centennial, Sesquicentennial and Bicentennial – for 100, 150 and 200 years, respectively.
