“Alejandro has been a key part of my staff for over six years, providing critical guidance and advice to help set and implement the Democratic legislative agenda.  President-elect Obama will be served well by Alejandro’s knowledge of House procedure, relationship with Members, and deep understanding of the issues confronting our nation.  He has been a tremendous asset both to my office and the Democratic Caucus for ten years.  I wish him the best as he begins his new role.”
