Following Morse's defeat in 1968, she joined the staff of Senator Frank Church. Even after Church left office in 1981, Gross continued to work as his personal secretary until his death in 1984. From 1985 to 1988, Gross worked as a consultant to the Democratic National Committee. In 1991, she became the executive assistant to Congressman Mike Kopetski. Following Kopetski's retirement, and with Republican Christine R. Trapnell's decision not to seek reelection, Gross decided to seek the Mason district seat on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.〔 Gross' defeat of Republican William B. Bailey in the November 1995 election saw control of the Board of Supervisors return to the Democrats after a short stint in which control of the ten-member board was evenly divided between the two parties. In the 2015 Democratic primary, Gross fended off a challenge from community activist Jessica Swanson. Gross would go on to defeat independent candidate Mollie A. Loeffler in the November general election. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Penelope Gross」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
