The Biden White House is adding 2 aides to its Office of Legislative Affairs team to fill vacancies amid recent criticisms of its handling of congressional affairs. Most recently, Dems were caught off guard by Biden's decision not to veto a DC crime bill.
Ashley Jones, who worked as special assistant for President Joe Biden since the dawn of his administration, will replace Shuwanza Goff, a top aide for legislative affairs who departed for a lobbying gig last month. Jones previously worked for Reps. Ben Ray Luján and Rep. Brad Schneider .Goff's departure last month was notable because she had deep ties to the hill, having served as a former aide for Rep. Steny Hoyer .
Biden's legislative affairs team has weathered criticism over recent years for its interaction with Democrats in Congress. During the push for Biden's so-called"Build Back Better" agenda, Sen. Joe Manchin was rankled by the Biden administration and felt strong-armed. He ultimately torpedoed the initiative before coming around for the Inflation Reduction Act.
