Education Week recently quoted Penn Hill Group Executive Vice President Alex Nock on the possibility of Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA) taking over as senior Democratic member of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, in the wake of Rep. George Miller’s (D-CA) announcement that he will retire at the end of this year.

In a February 4 Education Week article:

‘And Alex Nock, another former top aide to House Democrats, who now serves as executive vice president of Penn Hill Group, a government relations organization, said Scott, “is very passionate about the issues in front of the committee.” If he’s tapped for the ranking member slot, “he’ll have to decide what his priorities are.”’
