Relevant work history is your trump card. Do whatever you can to emphasize and offer specific examples of what you did at the senator's office and as a substitute teacher. In that same vein, consider removing everything listed below the teacher position.
Also, even the slightest grammatical/punctuation error can send the resume into the circular file, especially if the position requires excellent skills in that department. For example, "...as well as Warren-area businesses and non-governmental organizations." Ask several people to proofread it before you submit it.
Next, don't mention references or even say, "References available upon request." If the hiring manager is interested, they'll ask.
Last, do whatever you can to find out the name of the person who will be screening the resume, so that you can address them specifically on the cover letter. DON'T use, "To whom it may concern."
Hope that helps.
