Upon graduating, Mrs. Winters served as a nonpartisan staff member for the New Jersey State Legislature. As a Senior Research Analyst, she provided bill drafting, policy analysis, and committee staffing on diverse issues such as legislative ethics, campaign finance, elections, and property tax reform.
