Job Title: Senior Research Analyst, Pennsylvania House of Representatives

Scott Murphy Eisenhart (HBA '16, MPA '17) is a Senior Research Analyst for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.聽In this role, his聽responsibilities include:

• Researching and analyzing relevant legislative issues, tracking legislation and preparing member briefings and materials, and assisting in the design and development of strategies to pass or defeat legislation before the House.
• Managing constituent inquiries and maintaining harmonious relations with District office staff to solve problems and provide requested information.
  
• Attending assigned Committee meetings and providing effective resource support.
  

Scott credits the Biden School聽for providing him with the experiences, knowledge, and tools needed to excel in the world of 21st century politics and policy. Chief amongst these was Scott's experience as a Legislative Fellow, where he served for two聽legislative sessions and learned firsthand how policy is crafted at the state level. Other Biden School-related聽activities that aided Scott were his time as a Public Administration Fellow with the Institute for Public Administration's Planning Services Group, a study abroad trip to South Korea, and a winter break in Washington, D.C., interning on Capitol Hill. Prior to his role with the Pennsylvania General Assembly, Scott worked as a Legislative Aide with the聽Delaware聽House of Representatives and as an Administrative Assistant with Middle Paxton Township.

Scott is honored and humbled to be able to have a job that he loves, and credits all of the Biden School's聽faculty, staff, and students for helping him get to where he is now. He is a believer in "paying it forward," and聽encourages current students to reach out if they have questions about the Pennsylvania聽House of Representatives, politics and policy, or life after graduation.
