Washington, D.C. – Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) today announced the hiring of his new Communications Director, Jill Shatzen.

Shatzen joins the Burgess office after having worked as Press Secretary for Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), who announced his retirement in December. Previously, she worked as Press Assistant and Legislative Correspondent in the office of former Rep. Mary Bono (R-CA).

“Jill’s previous Capitol Hill experience and background in journalism will serve us well,” Burgess said.  “We look forward to having her join the team.”

Shatzen graduated from the University of Florida in 2010 with a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism. She was born in Houston, TX, but primarily grew up in Miami, FL and McLean, VA.
