New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer's daughter is increasing her influence as a White House economic adviser.
Jessica Schumer, 28, was promoted from a lower-level economic adviser to chief of staff for the incoming chairman of economic advisers, Jason Furman, assuming he receives Senate confirmation.
Politico described Jessica Schumer as "one of the sharpest young aides" in the White House.
She graduated from Yale Law School in 2010 and has worked as an aide to three of the most influential finance gurus in President Barack Obama's presidency: Larry Summers, Brian Deese, and Gene Sperling.
According to Obama aides, Schumer specializes in mining economic data for relevant information to be used in speeches and the media.
