Amy Klobuchar, One of Congress’ ‘Worst Bosses’?

WFB: A potential Democratic candidate for president is ranked among one of the “worst bosses” on Capitol Hill, according to staff turnover data compiled by government tracking site Legistorm.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) on Tuesday morning indicated on two separate occasions that she may be moving closer to jumping into the Democratic field for president in 2020.

Klobuchar told NPR’s Steve Inskeep that she would be “going south for the winter” when asked if she would be headed to Iowa. Additionally, the Minnesota senator announced the “big news” that her family is on board for a possible presidential run.

“Big news today, my family is on board including my in-laws, so showing momentum,” Klobuchar said on “Morning Joe.” “But I’ll make this decision on my own course regardless of what other candidates are doing.”

Klobuchar, who has been described as “Minnesota nice” in public settings, has consistently had one of the highest staff turnover rates in the Senate. An index of past Klobuchar staff shows that since she was first elected to the Senate in 2006, around 200 individuals who have worked in her offices have departed.

The Legistorm staff turnover data, compiled in a feature called ‘Worst Bosses?’, is calculated using official salary disclosures. Members of leadership are excluded from the lists, and only full-time, non-temporary staff are used as part of its data set. The formula used to determine staff departure additionally weighs the departure of senior level staffers higher than those of lower level staffers. more

  1. Let’s hope 20-30 MORE jump into the presidential campaign ranks! Drain their benefactors dry. Make fools of themselves nationally.Leave seats open to be picked off. It’s going to be fun to watch…..!
