Amy Rutkin is a veteran government and political leader with 25+ years of Capitol Hill and New York experience. She served as Staff Director to the House Judiciary Committee (the first-ever Democratic woman in the role) and Chief of Staff to Congressman Jerrold Nadler, roles that placed her at the center of some of the nation’s most consequential recent events and positioned her as a trusted advisor to Democratic Leadership and the White House. As Nadler is “Dean” of the NY Congressional Delegation and the House’s senior Jewish member, Rutkin also managed the Delegation and the informal Jewish members’ caucus. She is widely considered a top Democratic strategist on Jewish Community issues.
Rutkin also has deep experience in nonprofit development/management and advocacy, building winning coalitions to deliver key policy outcomes. She holds a BA in Sociology from Brandeis University and a MPA from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.
