up 38% of the U.S. population, but only 13.7% of all top House staff.<\/li>\n<li>Both white Democrats and white Republicans hire overwhelmingly white top staff, even though their districts are surprisingly diverse.<\/li>\n<li>Latina\/o Members represent districts that are much more Latino than their top staff.<\/li>\n<li>There are no Latinas\/os, AAPIs, or Native Americans who serve as full committee staff directors or leadership office chiefs of staff, policy directors, or communications directors.<\/li>\n<li>Women account for almost 61% of Black top staffers, almost 45% of Latina\/o tops staffers, and just over 31% of AAPI top staffers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To increase diversity, House Members should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop a written office diversity plan.<\/li>\n<li>Track and disclose staff demographic data.<\/li>\n<li>Interview at least one candidate of color for each vacant senior position (the &#8220;Rooney Rule&#8221;).<\/li>\n<li>Recruit diverse interns and pay them.<\/li>\n<li>Build a diverse pipeline of mid-level staff.<\/li>\n<li>Obtain unconscious bias training for the Member and managerial staff.<\/li>\n<li>Support bipartisan reforms that would require all Members of Congress to adopt these recommendations, and would appoint a congressional chief diversity officer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Media\u00a0coverage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New York Times,
