Marc Short: The man who can do what Trump can't on Capitol Hill

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Washington Examiner:

While President Trump spent his first week in office unwinding several Obama-era policies through executive order, one of his aides was working feverishly behind the scenes to pave the way for what cannot be done with the president's pen.

 

Enter Marc Short, a Capitol Hill veteran and the new White House director of legislative affairs.

 

Short was appointed to the position this month after spending the summer and fall on the campaign trail with his former boss-turned-Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence. The former Koch brothers operative had worked as Pence's chief of staff during his tenure as House Republican Conference chairman and later signed onto Sen. Marco Rubio's presidential campaign after the first three primary contests.

 

In his newest role, Short will be the administration's lead legislative liaison and responsible for whipping support for the many items on Trump's agenda that will require congressional approval.
