RECOGNIZING DANIEL RUBIN AND HIS SERVICE TO THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES
______
HON. JERROLD NADLER
of new york
in the house of representatives
Thursday, July 10, 2025
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Daniel Rubin for his
outstanding service to the House of Representatives, to the House
Judiciary Committee, and to the constituents of New York's 12th
Congressional District.
Daniel Rubin is an exceptional talent, with years of experience
working at the highest levels of Congress on the most crucial legal
issues of the day. He has a razorsharp mind, an inquisitive nature, and
a unique ability to accurately identify the key question that must be
addressed in any given situation.
Daniel Rubin has worked directly on the Judiciary Committee and the
Ways and Means Committee and has worked with Members who served on the
Budget, Oversight, and Education and the Workforce committees. It is
truly rare to find someone with his breadth and depth of experience
working in the House for as long as Daniel has. That is a testament to
his commitment to public service and his ability to gain the trust of
multiple Members of Congress from diverse backgrounds.
Not all positions on the Hill are equal, and Daniel has had perhaps
the toughest assignment. He routinely handles the most challenges
questions put to lawmakers by the Capitol Hill press corps. They are
trained to find vulnerabilities in any argument and expose them to the
public. They are tenacious and intelligent, and Daniel does an
excellent job working with them every day to get them the information
they seek and to do so in a way that is most beneficial to the Members
and Committees he is working for. It is not an easy task, but Daniel
does it with exceptional skill.
While working with us he has maintained excellent relationships
across a broad spectrum of writers, editors, and producers. He reads
voraciously and is always well informed and well prepared for the
challenges presented by his work. He is an excellent writer and a
master communicator.
I enjoyed working closely with Daniel on the House Judiciary
Committee and in my personal office for the past several years.
Together we worked with dozens of Members of Congress to help shape our
strategy, messaging, and legal approach in countless hearings and
markups. We identified the most powerful messages and amplified them in
the press and on social media.
Daniel built the greatest social media operation of any Committee on
Capitol Hill--training and supervising staff that were nimble,
provocative, and engaging. Under his supervision the number of
subscribers and their level of engagement with our content far outpaced
the traditional House committee.
Daniel has been at the epicenter of all of our crisis communications,
tackling difficult questions with a level head, and providing excellent
advice. My senior management team and I have always trusted Daniel's
judgment and strategic thinking. While working separately on my
campaign, Daniel helped propel me to a 30-point victory over a fellow
Democratic Committee Chair in a tough New York primary. He was
essential in debate preparation and worked with me to anticipate
questions and ensure that I was ready to respond in the most powerful
way possible. He led the communications team during the primary and
helped me secure the New York Times endorsement.
I wish Daniel the best of luck as he continues to fight for the
rights and liberties of all people and I thank him for his service.
