Sen. Heller aide comes in out of RAINN

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on May 4, 2017

Some staffers just can't stay away. After nine months lobbying for the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, a former House aide is back to the Hill as a legislative assistant to Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.).

Blair Bjellos came to RAINN from the office of Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas), where she worked as a senior legislative assistant and as coordinator of the Victims' Rights Caucus. The University of Virginia grad has also worked for former Rep. Michelle Bachman (R-Minn.).

At RAINN, Bjellos lobbied on a number of sexual-assault related issues. She now handles crime, defense and judiciary issues for Heller.
