Animal rights lobbyist joins DeLauro's staff

Posted by Sean Myers on Jan. 21, 2016

An animal welfare lobbyist from the American Veterinary Medical Association has joined the staff of Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.).

Elise Ackley will take on the role of legislative assistant in DeLauro's office, where she will focus on issues in agriculture, the environment and consumer safety.

A graduate of veterinary school at Louisiana State University, Ackley interned with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Agriculture during her studies, giving her valuable experience on the executive branch. After receiving her degree, Ackley joined the office of Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) with a year-long congressional fellowship from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Following her fellowship, Ackley joined the AVMA. In her short lobbying career, which lasted only four months, Ackley petitioned members of Congress for support in animal welfare policy, including the Animal Welfare in Agriculture Research Endeavors Act and the Horse Transportation Safety Act.

Subjects: Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT); Elise E. Ackley; Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL); American Association for the Advancement of Science; U.S. Department of Homeland Security; U.S. Department of Agriculture; American Veterinary Medical Association; Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine
