Steve King promotes 24-year-old to chief of staff position

Posted by Steve Shapiro on Sept. 14, 2015

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has gone millennial, picking a 24-year-old as his new chief of staff.

Young top staffers are nothing new to Capitol Hill, but King's latest pick is still an outlier. In becoming chief of staff, Sarah Stevens becomes probably the youngest top staffer in Congress. She started her Hill career with King in 2012 and rose quickly from press assistant to press secretary to communications director to deputy chief of staff over the next three years.

Prior to joining King's staff, Stevens worked as an intern at the Heritage Foundation and received her bachelor's degree in 2012 from Liberty University.

Stevens is married to another King staffer. Her husband, Chris Stevens, is currently executive director at the Conservative Opportunity Society, a caucus which King chairs.
