PA-09: Longtime public servant (D) running for 9th Congressional District in PA

Rachel Wallace is no stranger to the halls of Congress.

The Pottsville native has held various positions within the government. Her first job in 2010 working for former U.S. Rep. Tim Holden led to a career in public service including in the State Department from 2014 to 2017, on the staff of a U.S. Senator from 2018 to 2019 and then in the White House Office of Management and Budget, where she served as chief of staff from October 2021 to May 2023.

“I have learned so much about how the federal government works, and I have also learned so much about how the federal government does not work,” she said.......

A ninth-generation Pennsylvanian and the daughter of a nurse and a pastor, Wallace was working at the White House when she learned her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. She decided to move back to Schuylkill County to be closer to her family.
