Student Program Overview

My office offers several opportunities for students to participate and compete in throughout the year.  Please see our Student Opportunities Flyer for more information regarding eligibility and program deadlines.

Congressional App Challenge

Each year, I have the opportunity to host the Congressional App Challenge for middle and high school students across Texas-24. This competition encourages participants to learn to code and looks to inspire them to pursue STEM-related careers.

Congressional Art Competition

Each Spring, the U.S. House of Representatives hosts a nationwide high school Congressional art competition. This is a creative opportunity for students to compete and showcase their artistic talents through an original two dimensional piece of artwork. The winning piece will be displayed for a year in the U.S. Capitol.

Internships

Each year, I have the privilege of providing internships for students and recent graduates in my District office as well as my Washington D.C. office. Internships are a great way to learn more about the legislative process, acquire beneficial office skills, and contribute important work to a Congressional office.
