Education and Labor Committee adds longtime advocate

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 1, 2019

An expert in education policy has found her way to the House Education and Labor Committee.

Katie Berger is now professional staff on Rep. Bobby Scott's (D-Va.) Education and Labor Committee. She comes from Education Trust, an advocacy group focused on policy affecting low-income and non-white students.

Berger worked as a senior policy analyst for higher education but did not register as a lobbyist during her time at the nonprofit. Before that, she spent five years as federal-relations coordinator for the University of Texas System, which she also graduated from.
