Laura McAleer is back on Capitol Hill working for Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.) as senior defense adviser after a decade away as a lobbyist and in the military.

McAleer has more than 15 years experience in defense programming and national security policy working on the Hill and in the Pentagon.

Prior to the defense work, she was a staffer on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and was foreign policy and national security adviser to Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) on the Senate Appropriations and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Before that she worked for Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
