Introduction
The Senate Democratic Diversity Initiative is a resource to assist offices with identifying and hiring a more diverse workforce. In addition, it helps those who want to work on the Hill with understanding and navigating the job search process. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid started the Initiative several years ago to develop a Senate workforce that reflects the diversity of our nation and is demographically representational of the constituents we serve. Our concept of diversity and inclusion embraces differences in race and ethnicity, religion, disability and sexual orientation as well as recognizes the military service of our veterans.
