Center for American Progress hires Udall legislative assistant

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Aug. 25, 2015

A longtime legislative staffer for Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) has exited the Hill for a government affairs position with the left-leaning Center for American Progress.

Sabrina De Santiago has worked in both chambers of Congress for more than a decade, beginning as a legislative correspondent with Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) shortly after graduating from Brown University in 2000. For the last six years, she has worked as a legislative assistant and senior legislative assistant for Udall.

De Santiago joins the progressive policy organization, formerly headed by President Bill Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta, as director of government affairs. She covered a variety of issues for Udall, including transportation, taxation, commerce and economics and public finance.

The think tank has not filed a lobbying disclosure but advocates for progressive solutions for the economy and has sponsored several privately funded trips.
