Pompeo takes fair and balanced approach to hiring

Posted by Steve Shapiro on Nov. 16, 2015

Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) has welcomed a Fox News family member and former employee of the network onto his staff.

Mary Doocy, daughter of Fox personality Steve Doocy, joined Pompeo in October as a legislative assistant after a brief stint with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. She also briefly served with Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as a summer law clerk in 2014.

Mary Doocy will be covering social, religion and defense issues for the congressman.

Steve Doocy co-hosts Fox's morning talk show, "Fox & Friends." His son, Peter Doocy, also works for Fox News, joining the media organization in 2009 and becoming an on-air personality shortly thereafter. In 2012, Mary Doocy joined her father and brother at Fox News as a guest relations coordinator for three months.

In recent months, Pompeo has made multiple appearances on "Fox & Friends" to discuss the Benghazi hearings and the Iran nuclear deal.
