Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 4, 2018 NFL cheerleadering, volunteering with the Peace Corps, appearing on MTV — is there anything Rep. Cedric Richmond's (D-La.) new communications director hasn't done? Jalina Porter joins Richmond's office from the Truman National Security Project, a national security- and foreign policy-focused membership organization. But before she joined the world of policy and politics, Porter spent two years as a cheerleader with the Oakland Raiders. Before moving to DC (and joining the Washington Wizards dance team), she put her cheerleading knowledge to use as a trainer on MTV's "MADE" reality show. Porter also served in the Peace Corps in Cambodia shortly after graduating from Howard University. She got her start on the Hill as a press assistant to Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-Calif.) from 2015-2016. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week: Hill Hires - Juliet Spies-Gans, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Speechwriter
- Landy Wade, Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY), Scheduler
- Ashley Gunn, Rep. French Hill (R-AR), Senior Adviser
- Jeannine Bender, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), Legislative Assistant
- Akash Chougule, House Education and the Workforce Committee , Professional Staff Member
Hill Departures - Ephraim Froehlich, formerly Legislative Assistant to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
(now Senior Adviser/Deputy Director, Federal Affairs at Alaska Office of the Governor)
- Mary Christina Riley, formerly Senior Legislative Assistant to Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-GA)
(now at U.S. Department of Education) - Julia Tishman, formerly Legislative Assistant to Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN)
(now Director of Federal Government Relations at TIAA)
