Testimonials from previous RPT interns:
From Mason, Texas State University:
“Interning at the Republican Party of Texas was one of the most rewarding things that could have happened to me this summer. The staff and everyone I came into contact with was eager to help me grow. Through the projects and task I worked on, I felt a part of the team. I learned the fine details and hard work that goes into keeping Texas red. If anyone is interested in learning anything from county-level politics to statewide Republican efforts, they should intern and help out at the Republican Party of Texas.”
From Josh, University of Texas:
“When it came time to apply for summer jobs, I knew I wanted to work in politics, but I wanted to get outside of Capitol life in Austin. The Republican Party of Texas allowed me to gain more experience in communications, event planning, and relationship building. Coming to work every day was enjoyable because the staff was very friendly and helpful when I needed guidance. We had weekly meetings with different staff members to learn more about communications, testifying at the Capitol, and political activity.
“I learned a lot about politics at the state and local level, which allowed me to see the men and women working hard to keep Texas red. The Republican Party of Texas is a great opportunity to learn more about state politics and do important work in the political sphere. I would highly recommend applying for an internship if you want to hone in some of your communications skills or if you want to learn more about state party politics. RPT prepared me to use the skills I learned this summer to be more successful in the future.”
From Marco:
“Throughout many of the conversations I’ve had amongst my friends, I learned of their frustration and disillusion with the underrepresentation of youth in politics. Inspired to defy that notion, I interned at the Republican Party of Texas. In my time with the party, I had the opportunity to engage in discussion with delegates from Mexico, conduct legislative research, and lead efforts in an outreach projects, among many other things. Most importantly, I discovered that young people like myself can not only find their place in politics, but also create change within it.”
From Leonardo:
“As a Hispanic, I was nervous to come and work with the Republican Party due to the latest comments about them being “discriminant” to the Latino population. However, those gossips were totally false. They welcomed and helped me to incorporate to this united team. I have worked in a healthy, political environment analyzing and planning events, as well as learning and discussing legislative and statewide issues to promote a better Texas for your future.”

What is the Republican Party of Texas?
The Republican Party of Texas (“RPT”) is comprised of millions of Republican voters across the State of Texas and exists to promote a conservative philosophy of government. The Party’s leadership includes a Chair, a Vice Chair, and a board of directors elected every two years by Republican delegates called the State Republican Executive Committee. Delegates also codify our Party’s beliefs and legislative goals into a platform and determine our Rules by which we operate. Across Texas, more and more citizens from all walks of life are identifying themselves with the Republican Party’s values and ideals. Today, Texas is the largest solidly Republican state in America and as goes Texas, so goes the nation.
The RPT’s Mission:
- To promote a conservative philosophy of government:
- By promoting conservative principles; and
- By providing the infrastructure through which those who share our conservative principles can get involved in the political process, run for and be elected to public office, and govern according to our principles when elected.
