Bio
Katie Solomon
Just when I needed a mentor most, came Jessica. She is extremely patient, open, and kind hearted. Her press knowledge is unparalleled, and her words are effective, powerful, and influential. I’d recommend Jessica to anyone in need of a senior staffer who has the experience, tenacity, and focus that she does, especially when it’s balanced with her bright, engaging personality.
David Montero
What made Jessica such a successful reporter around the Capitol was a willingness to ask anything, read anything and discover anything that would deepen her understanding of an issue so she could then effectively communicate the practical effect of complex legislation to her listening audience. She was sharp, worked diligently and gained the trust of sources with the highest levels of integrity. It was no coincidence that when Jessica left the Capitol for her next job that she was lauded by sources on both sides of the political aisle because she approached stories with a desire to be fair and accurate. Jessica works well under deadline pressure and proved to be unflappable in even the toughest of circumstances. Jessica's skills translate to a wide variety of areas and I think any organization would be fortunate to have her on staff.
