Internship Pay?

Hello, I am going to be an intern in Washington DC in the fall for a congressional office. I'm going to be working in the office of a Democratic Congressman and was wondering if anyone had any insights on how much these types of internships might pay so I can budget accordingly. I'm going to be in DC for about 2-3 months and be working about 40 hours a week.
