ABOUT:
Defense policy analysis, commentary and discussion.Cristina Marcos is a reporter with CQ Roll Call’s Legislative Action team tracking floor and committee activity on Capitol Hill.
Before joining CQ Roll Call in January 2013, Cristina covered Congress for The Hill and Fox News Channel. Her work has been reproduced or cited in publications including The Washington Post, ABC News, USA Today, The Huffington Post and The Atlantic.
A D.C.-area native, Cristina graduated from the College of William & Mary in December 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in government.
With the August recess looming large, members are slipping in the last partisan jabs they can before everyone retreats to the echo chambers of their respective districts.
Last year, Congress reauthorized the Food and Drug Administration’s user fee system for drugs and devices made to address human needs, and this year lawmakers are working on similar legislation for the growing industry of animal pharmaceuticals.
