Party: Democrat Who She Is: Amanda Renteria is Hillary Clinton’s brand-new political director, and the Senate’s first Latina chief of staff. She’s also a former Democratic candidate for Congress in California. Why She Matters: Renteria is an experienced Hill staffer with a bright, shiny reputation. She’s considered a bit of a threat to the GOP; as the Washington Journal notes, “Renteria could be a secret weapon for Clinton in keeping the campaign and the minority party in Congress on the same page.” The mom of two is reported to be “warm, but tough,” with a solid track record in coalition-building, and could prove to be a key figure in making or breaking Clinton’s path in 2016.

It might not feel like it, but the 2016 elections are right around the corner. Thankfully, there are some very cool women working both behind the scenes and on the proverbial DC front lines to help make it a milestone election, no matter which way the noms – er, the winds – blow. What better time to get acquainted? The ladies below may not be full-on bold-face names (yet), but they’re all, without a doubt, players to watch.
