Banking lobbyist comes back to Sen. Kennedy

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 3, 2023

A former staffer to Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-La.) is back with her old boss, and this time she brings experience as a banking lobbyist.

Jen Newman is now a senior legislative assistant and staff director to the Senate Banking Committee's Economic Policy Subcommittee under Kennedy, the subcommittee's ranking member. She comes from the Independent Community Bankers of America. As assistant vice president for congressional relations, she was a part of the trade group's federal lobbying program, which the ICBA spent $4.5 million to run last year.

Before leaving for ICBA a year ago, Newman was a legislative assistant in Kennedy's personal office. She's also worked for Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.).
