Myrick is Secretary for the Minority of the United States Senate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Senate )〕 As Secretary for the Minority, Myrick is chief procedural advisor to the Senate Democratic Leader, Senator Harry Reid, and supervises the minority's reaction to the day-to-day Senate schedule.〔See Jackie Kucinich and Emily Pierce, “Top Staff Exodus Leads to Brain Drain; Veteran Democratic Aides Tire of 24-7 Grind,” ''Roll Call'', January 18, 2011; Dan Friedman, “Harry Reid Announces Staff Switch,” ''National Journal'', November 17, 2010.〕 In so doing, he often works with the Secretary for the Majority, Laura Dove.〔See ''Congressional Record'', volume 159, pages (S6142-43 ) (August 1, 2013) (Statement of Senator Harry Reid); Dustin Volz, “Longtime Senate Staffer Walks Away,” ''National Journal Daily Extra PM'', August 5, 2013.〕 ''Roll Call'' reporters and editors have repeatedly cited Myrick among leading Capitol Hill staffers.〔See, e.g., ("The Fabulous 50," ) ''Roll Call'', February 12, 2013, page 18; “The Roll Call Fabulous 50,” ''Roll Call'', September 13, 2012, page B-11; “The Roll Call Fabulous 50,” ''Roll Call'', January 23, 2012, page B-8. See also “Who's who of Hill staffers,” ''Politico'', December 8, 2010.〕 Myrick helped manage Senate passage of, among other things, the Water Resources Development Act of 2013,〔See ''Congressional Record'', volume 159, page (S3498 ) (May 15, 2013) (statement of Senator Barbara Boxer).〕 the 2013 Farm Bill,〔See ''Congressional Record'', volume 159, page (S4044 ) (June 10, 2013) (statement of Senator Debbie Stabenow)〕 and the immigration reform bill of 2013.〔See ''Congressional Record'', volume 159, pages (S5354 ) and (S5479 ) (June 27, 2013) (statements of Senators Patrick Leahy and Chuck Schumer).〕 Myrick served as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s Chief of Staff in the 110th and 111th Congresses. In this post, Myrick oversaw the Majority Leader’s staff and was responsible for helping craft policy, develop strategy, and conduct outreach on behalf of the Majority Leader and Democratic Caucus.〔 The Senate elected Myrick Secretary for the Majority on January 5, 2011.〔S. Res. 5 (112th Congress) (January 5, 2011); ''Congressional Record'', volume 157, page (S14 ) (January 5, 2011).〕 After the Republicans took back the majority in the 2014 elections, Myrick moved from Secretary for the Majority to Secretary for the Minority. Myrick joined Senator Reid’s office in 2003, when Reid, then Senate Minority Whip, asked him to serve as his Floor Counsel. In this position, Myrick quickly became one of Senator Reid’s top aides, and in 2005 he was named Deputy Chief of Staff.〔 Reid is the third Senate Democratic Leader for whom Myrick has worked. He started his Senate career as an intern for Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell while attending the University of Maine. After graduating, he moved to Washington, D.C., to work as a staff assistant in Senator Mitchell’s office and as a member of Mitchell’s Cloakroom staff. While working in the Democratic Cloakroom, Myrick attended night classes at the Washington College of Law at American University, earning a J.D. in 1995. When Mitchell retired in 1995, Gary joined the Senate Floor Staff under incoming Democratic Leader Tom Daschle.〔 Myrick lives in Falls Church, Virginia, with his wife, Lauren, and their son, Henry.〔 ==Notes== 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「Gary B.
