CHICAGO — President-elect Barack Obama has chosen a veteran Capitol Hill aide as his top White House representative to Congress, the Democrat’s transition team announced Saturday as he works to fill out the senior ranks of his team.
Philip Schiliro has worked in Congress for more than 25 years, many of which were spent as a top aide to longtime Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and the House Oversight Committee. His official title will be assistant to the president for legislative affairs when the new administration takes over Jan. 20.
