Senator picks up pair of ex-lobbyist Clinton aides

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 28, 2017

Sen. Catherine Cortez Mastro (D-Nev.)'s newest hires could almost share the same resume. Both are ex-trade lobbyists and aides to former Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).

Joleen Rivera, now Cortez Masto's legislative counsel, comes from the AFL-CIO, where she had worked as a legislative representative since 2015. In addition to her work for Clinton, the New Jersey native served Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).

Trevor Dean most recently worked as a government affairs adviser at the Federal Railroad Administration and has lobbied for the National Farmers Union. He previously worked as Clinton's agriculture policy adviser and served Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and former Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.).
