Following the historic Republican Revolution in 1994 which gave Republicans control of the U.S. House for the first time in 40 years, Amy worked on Capitol Hill for former Rep. George Nethercutt (R-WA), the Congressman who had defeated the sitting Speaker of the U.S. House. Working on issues including healthcare and natural resources, Amy worked her way up to serve as the Congressman’s Chief of Staff at the age of 28. In this position, she managed four offices, a staff of about 18 and an annual budget of over $1 million. As a senior staff member, Amy was directly responsible for overseeing fundraising outside of the official office and coordinating with campaign staff on messaging.

After 10 years on Capitol Hill, Amy translated her political and policy skills to work for a law firm where she now serves as a Republican federal government relations consultant. While living in Massachusetts, this position allows Amy to interact with Republican Members of Congress.
