Dan Senor Providing constituent services takes up most of Ellen Offen's time, too. As Rep. Lynn River's dis- trict director, Ms. Offen acts as a liaison to the Ann Arbor Democ- rat and helps both the citizens and the communities in the 13th Dis- trict access the federal government if they are having difficulties. Mr. Senor often answers ques- tions from Jewish groups whose current concerns, he said, are not focused on Israel as much as they are on domestic policy issues like school prayer, a balanced budget amendment and welfare. Whether it's working in Wash- ington or operating a district of- fice, this group of Jewish congressional staffers said they love their work. "Washington is an unusual place to be," said Gloria Andrews, an office administrator for Rep. Chrysler and a Troy native. "Working on the Hill cannot be compared to anything in the pub- lic sector. It's a great experience I would not trade for anything. Although I'm not part of the leg- islative staff, it's neat to be in Washington where members of Congress make decisions that af- fect so many people." Ms. Offen, who was once an elected official herself when she served on the Ann Arbor school board, enjoys the gratification she receives from helping people. As for working for a congres- sional member of the minority party, "You have to be upbeat," Ms. Offen said. "You can't be down and frustrated. You have to feel like your energy is making a dif- ference. Lynn is a great person to work for and we're excited about what we are doing." One reason Ms. Berlin finds living and working in Washing- ton exciting is because "our lo- cal news is everyone's national news." ❑ Publicity Deadlines The normal deadline for local news and publicity items is noon Thursday, eight days pri- or to issue date.
