Power couple runs freshmen offices

Posted by LegiStorm on Jan. 4, 2017

Only two people named Facchiano have worked on Capitol Hill in recent history, and yesterday both of them started in new jobs running offices for freshmen Republicans in the House.

Kathee Facchiano is the new chief of staff for Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.), the brash former sheriff's captain. Her husband, Greg Facchiano, is the new top staffer for Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-Pa.), a former state senator.

Greg brings experience in this role, having served as the top staffer to Rep. Joe Heck (R-Nev.) for six years. But Kathee has plenty of Hill experience, having had senior positions for members of the House and Senate since 2006. Her latest job was as Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) legislative director and general counsel.
