Alum Working on Energy Issues on Capitol Hill

Amanda Mertens Campbell ’05, was recently the subject of a feature story in Roll Call, the “Newspaper of Capitol Hill.” Amanda graduated cum laude from RWU Law and then she spent a year in Germany as a Robert Bosch fellow.  After her fellowship Amanda practiced with the Washington, D.C., office of Stinson Morrison Hecker but she was recently named minority counsel for Energy and Air Quality subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.  Here are some highlights from the Roll Call article:

“Through [her Bosch Fellowship}, whose goal is the advancement of trans-Atlantic relations, Campbell was able to work with the German Ministry of Justice and the German Association of Gas and Water Industries.  She is now fluent in German, and her husband, David Campbell, is the director of trade policy for the representative of German industry and trade.”

and:

“With energy issues at the forefront, Campbell said she could not pass up the opportunity to be a part of the policy process.
To be part of the committee that’s helping to create our country’s energy path, I couldn’t say no to it.  I don’t think there’s a more exciting place to be than the Hill.”

Best of Luck, Amanda!
