Committee aide becomes Labor's Hill liaison

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Dec. 11, 2018

A House Education and Workforce staffer is taking his 18 years of House experience back to the Department of Labor.

Joe Wheeler starts this month as the DOL's deputy assistant secretary for congressional and intergovernmental affairs. He had spent the last eight years as a Republican professional staff member with the Education and Workforce Committee.

Before joining the committee, Wheeler worked as a DOL senior legislative officer, as legislative director to ex-Rep. Jim Nussle (R-Iowa) and as a federal-affairs consultant for an engineering firm.
