Legislative relationships and friendships across the aisle in Congress are less rare than most people think. Just take it from Michelle Dorothy and A. Brooke Bennett.
On paper, these chiefs of staff don’t have all that much in common. One is a Democrat, while the other is a Republican. They came to the Hill on different paths: Dorothy has an MBA and started out in tech, while Bennett worked in corporate finance and went to law school.
But the two share a mission: They co-founded a bipartisan listserv to give chiefs a space to ask questions and talk about the challenges of running a congressional office.
