We’ve covered several congressional staff associations in Heard on the Hill and a bunch of them got together last week to tout their groups.

The Staff Association Fair on Friday was similar to a college activities fair and allowed staffers to learn about the many different options for them to get involved.

Meeting potential members were the Congressional Asian Pacific American Staff Association, Congressional Black Associates, Senate Black Legislative Staff Caucus, Space Advocates Staff Association and associations for Hispanic, Jewish, Muslim, South Asian-American, vegetarian, and LGBT staffers, among many others.

Comedian gets political

Mindy Kaling has been tweeting about, and at, members of Congress lately. First, she said she read that The New York Times called Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., “doe-eyed” and shared a side-by-side photograph of the congressman and Bambi’s mother from the Disney cartoon. On Thursday, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., tweeted at her about her show “The Mindy Project,” and the two traded “<3”s with one another.
