Overview
The Hill quoted Jason Abel, former chief counsel to Chairman Chuck Schumer on the US Senate Committee on Rules & Administration, in an article titled “Schumerland Ascends to New Heights in Senate.” The article, published November 29, discusses why Sen. Schumer will be able to draw upon a network of influencers and former aides when he ascends to Senate Democratic leader in 2017.
Mr. Abel, who worked for almost five years in senior positions for the senator, says: “He takes input from [lobbyists] like he would from anyone else. Whether it’s a grassroots group or a more established advocate, if there’s an issue that needs to be addressed, he will listen.”
