Kathleen (Leg Dir. from Rounds’s office) is the new policy director. Let’s see if she can turn this sinking ship around… ---

So when is Chris going to rage quit for being stepped over a million times? [https://unanimousconsent.discourse.group/t/janiefaulkner-is-the-staff-director-for-senate-banking](https://unanimousconsent.discourse.group/t/janiefaulkner-is-the-staff-director-for-senate-banking) ---

Wow. Helluva rise for someone so young. Good luck to her - she’s gonna need it. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/unanimousconsent/original/1X/46ba90abb703bd45910157e37057e92cb7ff18fc.png) ---

I think Chris was policy director before making it to deputy staff director. But seeing as how Janie got the pick, I dunno what purpose he really serves there now. ---

Who was policy director before? I can’t keep track of all the inflated titles and turnover on Banking. ---

After Chris got bumped up, I don’t think the technically had a policy director? ---

She’s a hard worker and I’ve enjoyed working with her. But yeah, hopefully she can turn banking around though I don’t know if that’s even possible at this point. ---

Wonder what she will be doing there. I’m guessing one of Hill’s advisors is going to be moving on? ---

If it’s not LePore, will be an interesting work environment. ---

What’ll be interesting about it? Beyond being a senior advisor to Hill which is pretty cool in its own right I guess. ---

One of the other advisors is a bit Gallego-like if you catch my drift [Next page](https://unanimousconsent.discourse.group/t/new-banking-policy-director/564.md?page=2)
