With a potential new wave of women legislators coming to Capitol Hill
after this election, Women Rule asked the question: What about their
staffers? They’re the backbone of Congressional offices – the
legislative assistants, the communications directors, the chiefs of
staff. And women’s representation in these offices matters too. Just
before the midterms, we’re bringing you this bonus episode on the
minority women staffing Capitol Hill offices.
In this live Women Rule podcast taping, which we recorded at The Wing’s
D.C. offices, we talked to two minority women who serve as chiefs of
staff: Natalie Armijo, chief of staff for Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham,
part of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and Caren Street, chief of
staff for Rep. Karen Bass, who’s also part of the Congressional Black
Caucus. We asked them about their paths to Capitol Hill, what it took to
get them there, and the challenges they’ve faced since.
To tee up that interview, we had Rhonda Foxx, chief of staff to Rep.
Alma Adams, set the stage, while Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand gave opening
remarks.
