Summary
Katie Bailey will take over the Office of Legislative Affairs, the White House unit that manages Capitol Hill ties, nominations and the administration’s legislative agenda.
Tuesday is James Braid’s last day in the job, making Bailey the new point person for Trump’s Senate and House strategy.
Bailey has served as deputy director since early summer and previously worked for Republican Sens. Mike Braun of Indiana and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
Trump said Bailey already helped secure confirmations for Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, DNI Jay Clayton and Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling, citing those wins as proof she can run White House-Hill relations.
