  • Aubrey's driving passion is to raise awareness of all the good that is happening in Congress every day. As former Deputy Staff Director for the Committee on House Administration (CHA) in the 118th Congress, she played a lead role in making the House work more effectively by directing the committee’s oversight agenda, organizing hearings, and liaising with Members to align institutional support with their offices’ needs. With a driving belief that bipartisan agreement results in long-lasting implementation success, Aubrey worked to build bridges across the aisle, bringing everyone to the table to brainstorm solutions that worked for the institution and all those who support it. In this role, Aubrey also served as the Staff Director of the Joint Committee on Printing, the longest running joint committee of Congress, and oversaw the inaugural session of CHA’s bipartisan Subcommittee on Modernization, the predecessor of the impactful House Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress (SCOMC).
