Cantwell adviser tries to save Ex-Im Bank

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Oct. 1, 2014

A Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) staffer is now managing congressional relations for the Export-Import Bank of the United States as it faces an existential threat.

Gulick comes to the bank after many conservatives have called for shutting it down. The agency, which provides credit for private businesses engaged in exporting, has been reauthorized only through June 2015, setting up more uncertainty for the agency as it tries to prove its relevance.  

Erin Gulick worked for Cantwell from 2011 through September, beginning as a legislative assistant and rising to senior adviser. Now she is senior vice president for congressional relations at the bank.

Gulick came to the Hill in 2008 as a legislative correspondent for Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.) before serving as a Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.) legislative assistant until 2011. She is a University of Washington and Northwestern University graduate.

Before coming to Congress, Gulick was a policy associate for the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association.
