U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, is accepting applications for internship opportunities in his Washington, D.C. and state offices.

Portman said he began his career in public service as a congressional intern and knows the benefits of offering college students an “exciting introduction to Congress and the workings of a Senate office,” said Portman.
