Defense contractor jets off with longtime Senate aide

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 19, 2020

One of the Senate's most powerful committees has lost a longtime staffer to a defense contractor.

Colleen Gaydos is now senior director of legislative affairs at Sierra Nevada Corp. The space and aviation manufacturer lobbies mainly on defense, aerospace and homeland security issues.

Gaydos comes from the Senate Appropriations Committee, where she spent the last 13 years. She most recently served as professional staff to the Defense Subcommittee and has also worked for former Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio).
