Take Action

Please find below various opportunities to get involved in campaigns and political internships. We are in the process of compiling a database of campaigns in the local Nashville area that our members can get involved in.

The office of Congressman Marsha Blackburn (TN-07) is looking for interns this fall! Congressman Blackburn is a “rising star” in the Republican Party and has been a great friend to the Vanderbilt College Republicans! This is a fantastic opportunity and many of our members have interned for the congressman in the past. Internships may qualify for university credit, and hours are flexible. Please contact Stephen for more information.

The Tennessee Republican Party is seeking interns for fall 2010. This is a significant opportunity for any student interested in political campaigns as the 2010 elections draw near. Hours can be flexible between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. depending on the number of hours the student must work to fulfill university requirements. We are willing to complete the necessary paperwork for a student to earn credit. Please contact Anna McDonald at anna@tngop.org for more details!
