Mark Warner hires Lot Kwarteng, the fifth Black legislative director in the U.S. Senate

Sen. Mark R. Warner announced Monday the appointment of Lot Kwarteng as Legislative Director in the senator’s Capitol Hill office.

Kwarteng, a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, will be one of five Black legislative directors in the U.S. Senate.

“I am thrilled to announce that Lot Kwarteng will serve as my next Legislative Director. Lot comes with extensive policy experience, a focus on collaboration, and an outcome-based attention to detail. I trust that his knowledge and background will serve him in successfully guiding the policy team as we work to see through the implementation of the landmark reforms enacted last Congress, and continue to seek out opportunities for bipartisan progress in the 118^th Congress,” Warner said.

Kwarteng most recently served as a senior policy advisor in the office of Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan. He handled legislative issues and collaborated with Democratic Policy and Communications Committee staff.

Prior to that, Kwarteng worked in the office of Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.

He came to D.C. through the Emerging Leaders Program sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.
