Macomb, Illinois Student Interns In Durbin's Washington, DC Office
Press Release
Issues: Legislative Branch
"I started my career on Capitol Hill as a college intern for Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois. I will never forget that day in February of 1966 when he agreed to hire me as an intern to work in his office. As a student from East St. Louis, Illinois, going to work in the office of a U.S. Senator was one of the most exciting things I had ever done. I know what a valuable experience it can be and we strive to make sure all of our students get a glimpse into the workings of the United States Senate."
