Diverse freshman reps turn to not-so-diverse chiefs

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 22, 2019
This Congress's freshman class is the most racially diverse in House history. Their chiefs of staff are as white as their non-freshman counterparts.

So far, one in five freshman representatives has hired a non-white chief of staff — about the same proportion as returning members, according to LegiStorm data.

While freshman Democrats are more likely than their Republican peers to hire a non-white chief (25 percent vs. 8 percent), they've hired a smaller proportion of non-white chiefs than returning Democrats (30 percent). The GOP's freshman and returning members are equally (un)likely to employ a non-white chief of staff, with about 92 percent choosing a white person to lead his or her office.

Compared to returning representatives, the freshman of both parties were also less likely to employ non-white legislative assistants and district directors.
