Democratic adviser heads to racial-equity CDFI

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 14, 2023

A Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) adviser has moved to a racial-equity group.

Makenzi Sumners joined the Low Income Investment Fund this month as a national-policy manager. LIIF is a community development financial institution that focuses on furthering racial equity through affordable housing, education and health. The group maintains a small Washington lobbying presence.

Sumners was most recently policy adviser and special-project coordinator to Watson Coleman, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee.
