Natalie Joyce, the House’s director of interparliamentary affairs, is leaving Capitol Hill and taking a top job with the Peterson Solutions Fund.
The Peterson Solutions Fund is part of the network of nonpartisan, nonprofit organizations affiliated with the late Pete Peterson, the billionaire co-founder of the Blackstone Group. Peterson put his wealth toward a number of entities that deal with fiscal and economic issues.
Joyce will be the vice president of advocacy for the Peterson Solutions Fund, a 501(c)(4).
Joyce is a longtime House GOP aide who has served in a number of key roles in the institution for both Speaker Mike Johnson and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Her previous role was deputy chief of staff to McCarthy. She worked for McCarthy for 12 years, serving as director of member services when Republicans were in the majority and the minority.
In going to the Peterson Solutions Fund, Joyce will be reunited with Brett Loper, her fellow Mississippian with whom she served in the House Republican leadership. Loper, now the organization’s executive director, came to Peterson from American Express.
“Natalie has been a trusted advisor to Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle and her knowledge of the inner workings of Congress will be an invaluable asset in her new endeavor,” Johnson said in a statement. “I am personally grateful for all of Natalie’s years of service to the nation, and we wish her great success in the next chapter of her career.”
Here’s a statement from McCarthy:
