Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Oct. 3, 2014

A onetime immigration lobbyist for the National Council of La Raza has shifted to Capitol Hill as counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Olga Medina completed law school at the University of Texas this year and has a passion for immigration reform. She was an immigration policy associate at La Raza for two years beginning in 2008 after earning her bachelor's degree from Stanford University. 

Medina has also clerked for the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and was a White House Domestic Policy Council intern in 2013. She worked in Texas politics earlier this year as a policy intern for Texas state Sen. Rodney Ellis (D-Houston). 

She lobbied for La Raza on issues including the Reuniting Families Act, DREAM Act and AgJOBS Act of 2009, according to filings.
