“The 19th District Internship helped me learn and experience parts of the government that I never knew existed! I enjoyed working in the York and D.C. offices and having the opportunity to see the legislative process at work. The public service skills and lessons I acquired while working with Congressman Platts and his staff are ones that will help me better serve the public in the future.”

-Maggie Stauffer, Summer 2010 Intern



“The 19th District Internship Association is an ideal internship for anyone who strives to be a public servant. Congressman Platts and his staff dedicate themselves to helping constituents of the 19th District. I am truly honored and appreciative to be a part of this devoted staff for the summer of 2010. From giving Capitol tours to meeting with constituents, I have gained first-hand knowledge of the United States government and Congress. My experience with the 19th District has been remarkable and I am sincerely grateful to the 19th District Internship Association for providing this once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

-Ann Swade, Summer 2010 Intern
