Rep. Walz aide trades Hill for sex ed

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 5, 2018

After four years, an aide to Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) has moved on to sex-education lobbying.

Samantha Dercher most recently served as deputy legislative director to Walz, who is trading in his congressional seat for a run for Minnesota governor.

Dercher is now federal policy director at the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, where she's currently lobbying on funding for HIV and teen-pregnancy prevention programs, among other issues.
