Moulton Names Entrepreneur and Marine Veteran Roger Dean Huffstetler Chief of Staff
"Over the last three months, I have worked incredibly hard to build a team of highly talented individuals who share my commitment to serving this country, and specifically the 6th District of Massachusetts," said Moulton. "I am humbled by the caliber of people who have joined this team and incredibly grateful that Roger Dean has taken on the challenge of leading it. As an entrepreneur and Marine, Roger Dean brings extraordinary leadership skills and shares my commitment to fixing the VA and ensuring our veterans have the benefits and care they have earned. I have tremendous confidence in Roger Dean and look forward to working with him to bring fresh, innovative ideas to Congress and Massachusetts."\

He later enlisted in the Marine Corps where he served in both Afghanistan and Iraq, rising to the rank of Sergeant. After leaving the military, Huffstetler earned a Masters in Business Administration from the Harvard Business School and a Masters in Public Aadministration from the Harvard Kennedy School. It was at Harvard, as a Zuckerman Fellow, that he got to know Moulton.

"Like many people across the district, I am inspired by Congressman Moulton’s call to change the way business is done in Washington," said Huffstetler. "In the Marines, you learn about the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Congress needs more people like Moulton who are willing to roll up their sleeves and work in a bipartisan fashion to do the work of the American people. I am honored to join Moulton’s team and look forward to serving the 6th district."\
Huffstetler joins a team of six in Moulton's Washington D.C. office including deputy chief of staff, Andy Flick; legislative director, Steven Snodgrass; legislative aides Eric Kanter and Margo Brown; scheduler, Brendan O’Bryan; and staff assistant Meaghan Doherty.
