Juvenile justice advocate joins Rep. Speier's staff

Posted by on Feb. 27, 2020

It is no surprise that Rep. Jackie Speier's (D-Calif.) newest legislative assistant will be covering civil rights for the office.

Attorney Rachel Marshall, who joined Speier's staff this month, comes to the representative's staff after years of lobbying on juvenile justice issues. Most recently, she was the federal policy counsel for Campaign for Youth Justice. Before that, Marshall worked at the American Civil Liberties Union.

"There's just no way to overstate her leadership role on federal juvenile justice legislation," Josh Rovner of The Sentencing Project wrote about Marshall on Twitter. "She'll be missed, but the House will be better off with her on the inside."

Marshall will also cover the financial sector and commerce for Speier, among other issues.
