National headliners

Jet, Feb 17, 2003

An upward-bound U.S. Senate aide is James Harris, the appropriations subcommittee staffer who became a special advisor to the President Pro Tem office. Born and educated in Alaska, he joined Sen. Ted Steven's Fairbanks office and was transferred to the nation's capital. He now attends American University law school in Washington ...

Passed: 71-year-old former Rep. Lucien Blackwell of Philadelphia. Once a councilman and then a state legislator, he spent most of his life in politics ... The most unpublicized (and unpaid) lawmaker in Washington is Shadow Sen. Florence Pendleton, a Democrat elected by D.C. voters to the unpaid, non-federal job of lobbying senators for voting rights for D.C. law-makers.
