After Beverly Hart decided she was going to leave her job as a congressional staffer, she posted a few lighthearted videos on TikTok about her job on Capitol Hill. Now, she has more than 29,000 followers on the app, where she posts a mix of the personal and the political.
She started gaining traction thanks to a game she and her former co-workers would play while waiting for coffee in the mornings — guessing staffers’ political parties based on their outfits or accessories. A Fjällräven backpack screams Democrat, she said, while a bowtie leans Republican.
In an endless sea of suits and blazers, Hart said posting on social media can help demystify what it’s like to work on Capitol Hill.
