Staffer leaves Rep. Reed's office for the National Association of Manufacturers

Posted by John Sugden on Aug. 11, 2014

Laura Ringdahl, a former House staffer in four different member offices, has left Congress for a position at the National Association of Manufacturers.

Most recently a senior legislative assistant in Rep. Tom Reed's (R-N.Y.) office, Ringdahl is now director of government relations at the manufacturing trade association.

Commonly known as NAM, the Association is the largest of its kind in the United States, representing more than 10,000 manufacturing companies. NAM advocates for its clients on a variety of issues, including industry rules, environmental regulations and patents.

Ringdahl's congressional career started in late 2008 with a brief stint as staff assistant for Rep. Phil English (R-Pa.). She later worked for Reps. Chris Lee (R-N.Y.) and Candice Miller (R-Mich.). She joined Reed's staff as legislative assistant in early 2012.

Ringdahl holds a bachelor's in political science from Colgate University.
