The Hill Covers Racial Diversity Among Top Staff in Senate Personal Offices

The Hill exclusively covered the Joint Center’s Racial Diversity Among Top Staff in Senate Personal Offices report that provides evidence regarding the need for more racial diversity among U.S. Senate personal office top staff.

In the article, Senior Researcher Dr. LaShonda Brenson told The Hill: “I want voters to know that their member of Congress, their senator, is only one person and so they can only do so much. They really rely on a team of experts — that is their staff — to help them get the job done right. Having a diverse staff really pushes them and opens them up to different experiences that they may not have, and that can really help to inform the senator how to vote on an issue and help us to get policies that are reflective of Americans in terms of their needs and interests.”
