past six years, she worked for several Members representing her home 
state of New York and most recently the House Judiciary Committee, 
where she has served as the Communications Director for the Democratic 
staff.
  A 2008 graduate of Stony Brook University, Stephanie majored in 
political science with a concentration in journalism. She began her 
career on Capitol Hill in 2010 as a staff assistant for Congressman 
Anthony Weiner of New York, where she was promoted to press assistant 
and legislative correspondent. She then served as a press assistant and 
legislative correspondent for the office of Congressman Charles B. 
Rangel, and later served as the communications director for Congressman 
Hakeem Jeffries. In 2014, she was hired as the communications director 
for the House Judiciary Committee Democratic staff.
  As the spokesperson for the Committee, Stephanie worked tirelessly to 
disseminate the messages of the Democratic Members, create and maintain 
relationships with the press, manage the Committee social media 
accounts, and overhaul the Democratic website. She organized many high 
profile press briefings and coordinated with other Committees and their 
Members to ensure the press received timely and accurate information. 
Stephanie excelled at all of these tasks. She earned a well-deserved 
reputation for being dependable, and her expertise and energy were 
appreciated by staff and Members alike.
  We thank Stephanie for her many outstanding contributions to the 
House Judiciary Committee and the U.S. House of Representatives, and 
wish her well as she returns to New York to work for the New York 
Economic Development Corporation. She will surely be missed.
