Caught Our Eye

Amazon alum delivered back to the Hill

Posted by Andy Gottlieb on Oct. 16, 2023

A former public relations manager for Amazon has returned to working in Congress.

Patrick Malone is now chief of staff for freshman Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), whose staff could use some stability. Thanedar's staff turnover is more than 2.5 times the House average, according to LegiStorm data.

Malone has over a decade of experience in the Capitol, having earlier served as communications director to Reps. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) and Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.).

His tenure on the Hill isn't confined to just national politics. He served two terms on the Advisory Neighborhood Commission, representing an area to the northeast of the Capitol.
