The White House has moved to fill out its legislative affairs office that will work with lawmakers on Capitol Hill on budget reconciliation legislation and other priorities, including on energy and the environment.

Working under Director James Braid, the White House said Friday that Jordan Cox, Jack Rosemond and Stephen Siao would focus on the House, and Drew Dziedzic, Taylor LaJoie and Natalie McIntyre would manage Senate issues.

Cox most recently worked as a top aide for Rep. Guy Reschenthaler of Pennsylvania, the House GOP’s chief deputy whip, after a stint in Rep. Vern Buchanan’s (R-Fla.) office.

Rosemond spent about four years on the Ways and Means and Budget committees, after spending two years working for then-Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from 2019-2021, according to his LinkedIn page.
