A new legislative assistant covering education for Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) has returned to the Hill after lobbying for the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.
Pamela Davidson worked in the House for 15 years from 1992 through 2007, serving the final 10 years as professional staff member on the House Education and the Workforce Committee. Since then she has held several government affairs jobs, including at the National Council for Adoption and National Association of Child Care Resources and Referral Agencies.
Davidson registered to lobby between 2012 and 2014 for charter schools, including on the issues of expanding the success of quality charter schools, charter schools on Indian lands and charter enrollment practices. Davidson was the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools' senior director of government relations.
Davidson earned a bachelor's in political science from Oklahoma State University a year before coming to the Hill in 1992 as a staff assistant for Rep. Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.). She also served as legislative assistant for Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) and senior legislative assistant for Rep. Jon Lynn Christensen (R-Neb.).
