Bachus staffer lands federal affairs job with Xcel Energy Inc.

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Dec. 17, 2014

As Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) and his staff pack their bags over the next few weeks, one staffer for five years has already said farewell.

Summer Bravo came to the Hill as an intern for Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) in 2009 before starting later that year as a staff assistant for Bachus and continuing up the ranks to senior legislative assistant earlier this year. Her new position as federal affairs consultant for Xcel Energy Inc. takes her to a company that has long lobbied Washington. The company serves millions of gas and electric customers in the Midwest and West of the country.

Bravo graduated from Auburn University in 2009 and has never filed lobbying papers. Her husband, Matt Bravo, also works on the Hill as deputy floor director for House Republican Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.).

Bachus thanked staffers, including Bravo, in a statement this week.
