Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio announced today that veteran policy advisor Cesar Conda will serve as Chief of Staff in his Senate office. Conda previously worked with Senator Rubio as a policy advisor on his 2010 Senate campaign and his Senate Transition.

“After a long and exhaustive search, I am pleased to announce that Cesar Conda has agreed to come on board as my Chief of Staff. During the campaign, Cesar was a valued policy advisor and as we transitioned into the Senate, his counsel was fundamental in putting together our staff and ensuring that our offices in Washington and throughout Florida were open on Day One. Cesar brings a wealth of policy, legislative, political and management experience that will greatly aid our office’s mission of serving the people of Florida,” said Senator Rubio.

Conda brings over 25 years of experience to Senator Rubio’s office. He has previously worked in the White House as Assistant to the Vice President for Domestic Policy and as a senior staffer on Capitol Hill in the 1980s and 1990s.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to work with Senator Rubio as he pursues conservative alternatives to the policies coming out of Washington that are taking our country in the wrong direction,” said Conda. “From Day One, Senator Rubio’s staff has been working throughout Florida on behalf of all Floridians and I look forward to joining this incredible team.”
