California Rep. Katie Hill is seen as Nancy Pelosi’s new favorite, with the House speaker taking the new member under her wing. But will this newfound mentorship help or hurt Hill?
The moment was a catalyst. In the days following, dozens of freshmen joined Hill in publicly saying. “Everybody was like, OK, she [Hill] is going to be a force to be reckoned with,” recalled Rep. Kathy Castor , a Pelosi ally.
Pelosi was struck not only by Hill’s loyalty — which came before the women had become close — but her leadership skills, those in her circle said. “She likes to tell everybody that she got to Congress the same year I was born, and so it became a total joke on the Munich trip,’’ Hill recalled. “Any mistake you make is going to be much more noticeable,” Hill said. “If I screw up then everyone's paying attention and I'll hear about it.”
The mix of idolization and intimidation was apparent in November when the incoming lawmaker — exhausted and makeup-less during a layover — bumped into Pelosi at the airport. “I just ran into @NancyPelosi while looking like this,” Hill“I respect the women who paved the way for me more every day. ”
