Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer’s staffers are a hardy bunch. In his 50 years in public office, Schumer has gained a reputation as someone who works his staffers as hard as he works himself – which is to say, the grind never stops. His office has churned out alumni that can be found all over the political arena, from elected office to government appointments to influential consultant firms. Here are just a few of the graduates from the Schumer school of politics in New York.
