Former Cleveland mayor, Landrieu chief of staff leaves Congress

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Dec. 2, 2014

A Senate staffer who was once the mayor of Cleveland has left Capitol Hill for an advocacy job.

Jane Campbell this month joined the National Development Council as director of public policy and advocacy after leaving the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, where she has been a senior adviser since June. Campbell was Cleveland's first female mayor and served from 2002-2006.

Campbell came to the Hill in 2009 as Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-La.) chief of staff, a position she held until early 2013. She was staff director of the Senate committee between 2013 and earlier this year.

The former staffer has also operated her own consulting firm, after leaving the mayor's office, and comes to an organization that has filed as a lobbying client since 2007. The National Development Council, a nonprofit that works for economic development in underserved communities, has lobbied this year on transportation, housing and urban development.

Campbell took several privately funded trips during her time in Congress, traveling to Tunisia, Louisiana and Istanbul, and has never registered as a lobbyist.
