AARP picks up legislative staffer from Rep. Schakowsky

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 23, 2017

The AARP snagged a new legislative staffer from Rep. Janice Schakowsky (D-Ill.), a longtime senior-citizens advocate.

Amy Kelbick, now an AARP senior legislative representative, had held positions with various Democrats since 2009. She most recently worked as a senior policy adviser to Schakowsky.

Schakowsky has a long history of advocating for senior citizens. This spring, the congressowoman reintroduced the AARP-endorsed FAIR Drug Pricing Act, and before her election to Congress, she directed the Illinois State Council of Senior Citizens.
