As floor director for Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Reema Dodin is on the front lines for Democrats on issues that include federal budget appropriations, the debt ceiling and — as she put it — “always nominations.”
Dodin, 33, got an early start in politics. She volunteered on her first political campaign when she was 4 years old, stuffing envelopes with her father. Dodin was the first in her family born in the United States — her family emigrated from the West Bank — and said her parents paid close attention to U.S. politics.
