Manifesto:  Staffing Capitol Hill
Cathy Travis worked on Capitol Hill for 25 years as a communications director, senior advisor and political consultant for various Members of Congress until her retirement to be a full time author. A native of Jonesboro, Arkansas, Travis graduated from Arkansas State University and resides in Washington, D.C.  Her first book, the award-winning Constitution Translated for Kids, was hailed by partisans in all major political parties as an even-handed, non-ideological rendition of the founding U.S. document.  Travis has been a registered Independent since March, 2001.
