As the director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs, Louisa Terrell, 53, leads a team that is the president’s collective eyes and ears in Congress.
The Biden administration managed to rack up a long list of major legislative wins in its first two years despite facing one of the most closely-divided Congresses in history.From bipartisan action on infrastructure, gun safety and same-sex marriage to party-line bills tackling climate change and expanding health care coverage, it’s a record President Joe Biden and Democrats on the ballot were all eager to tout on the campaign trail during the midterms.
” Terrell’s lifelong relationship with the Biden family means she brings a unique perspective to her work in the White House. “He knows my folks and just being connected that way,” she said. “You know where the person came from and I think that helps.” “It brings a warmth to the work and I feel very, very lucky about that,” she added. Terrell said her friend Beau, who died of a brain tumor in 2015, is always on her mind. “You want to represent what … the President wants you to do,” she said.
