Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson announces new hire and staff changes within his Washington, D.C. staff.

Simpson hired Nathan Greene to be his new Legislative Assistant. Greene is from Bainbridge Island, WA and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Principia College in Elsah, IL.

Greene previously worked for then Congressman C.L. "Butch" Otter, and Senator Larry Craig. He will be handling issues that deal with Government Reform, Judiciary, Budget, Telecommunications, and Small Business.

Nathan enjoys backpacking, golf and playing the piano. He was the captain of his college golf team and taught youth golf camps.

"Nate brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to my staff," said Simpson. "I’m confident that constituents in Idaho will enjoy working with him and will benefit from his congressional know-how."

Congressman Simpson’s Legislative Director (LD) Missy Small will be handling Agriculture and Natural Resources issues.  Missy has been Simpson’s LD for almost two years. She is from Meridian, ID and while growing up was active in FFA.  

"Some of the most important issues to Idaho are issues that deal with Natural Resources, Energy, and Transportation," said Simpson. "Missy has a vast understanding of these and how they impact Idaho, she is a great champion for our citizens."

In addition to Agriculture and Natural Resources, Missy will continue working on Energy, Environment, Water, and Transportation issues in Congressman Simpson’s Washington, D.C. office.
