Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Kimberly Rodriguez

57. Kimberly Rodriguez

Kimberly Rodriguez has become something of a fixture in the Pro Tem’s office. She was policy director under Toni Atkins and now she’s policy director and deputy chief of staff under Mike McGuire. She manages an 11-person staff for the Senate Democratic Caucus, working to advance the caucus’ agenda. In her role as deputy chief of staff, she also helps the Secretary of Senate in managing legislative administrative matters for the upper house. A veteran of the building for more than two decades, Rodriguez works directly with senator’s offices and Senate committees on legislative processes to keep the trains moving.
