Rep. Deutch deputy chief heads to DEA

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 7, 2022

One of Rep. Ted Deutch's (D-Fla.) first congressional hires has left for the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Josh Lipman is now a director in the agency's Office of Congressional Affairs. He'd worked for Deutch since the congressman took office in 2010 and was most recently deputy chief of staff. Before coming to the Hill, Lipman was an attorney for the Southern Center for Human Rights and for the American Bar Association's Death Penalty Moratorium Project.

Deutch, who chairs the House Ethics Committee, is resigning from Congress in the coming weeks to lead the American Jewish Committee.
