Democratic House staffer moves to United Steelworkers

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 18, 2022

After working for three Midwestern Democrats, a House staffer has moved to one of the country's biggest and most influential unions.

Megan Salrin joined United Steelworkers this month as a legislative representative. She comes from the office of Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), where she was a legislative assistant. Salrin has also worked for Rep. Frank Mrvan (D-Ind.) and then-Rep. Pete Visclosky (D-Ind.).

United Steelworkers spent $1.26 million on its federal lobbying program last year. The union's PAC gave almost $92,000 to congressional candidates, virtually all Democrats, last cycle. The PAC donates $5,000 to Kaptur's campaign most years, according to Federal Election Commission data.
