Ex-staffer returns to Hill after 32 years

Posted by Sean Myers on Feb. 24, 2016

A former House staffer who left the Hill in 1984 has returned after nearly 20 years with an association that lobbies for credit unions.

Pat Sowick become director of program management for Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) this month.

Sowick got her start in the House of Representatives as a legislative assistant for Rep. Ray McGrath (R-N.Y.) way back in 1981. She served three years and then left to work for more than a decade as a congressional liaison for various international broadcasting companies.

In 1997, Sowick became a fixture on K Street, joining the Credit Union National Association as vice president of Washington operations. Sowick stayed with the association 18 years and also served as the treasurer for its PAC, which grew from $500,000 to $4.5 million during her tenure.
