DeLynn Henry

DeLynn Henry was the Director of Scheduling and a personal assistant for Senator Stevens for more than twenty years. She started her career working with the National Rifle Association’s lobbying group but when her boss got a job as Special Assistant at the Department of the Interior, she went with her. Eventually, she became the Assistant to the President for Public Liaison during the Reagan Administration. She was hired by Senator Stevens in the late 1980’s. A mother of two, she always felt lucky to be working for Senator Stevens, because he was very family oriented and understanding. They developed a special friendship over the years and she organized his everyday life until he closed his office in 2009. At the time of her 2011 interview, DeLynn was working for Northrop Grumman in Washington D.C.
