Longtime lobbyist returns to Senate as LD

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 15, 2021

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has a new legislative director — a longtime lobbyist who's no stranger to the Senate.

Amanda Miller comes to Gillibrand's office from Seventh Street Strategies, where she worked on education issues. Miller first opened the one-woman lobbying shop in 2005 and has returned to it periodically throughout the years.

Miller's experience includes a brief stint with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) last fall as special counsel to the Judiciary Committee during Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation. She's also worked for Teach for America's in-house lobbying team and, in the early 2000s, held another counsel position with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
