In the Democratic cloakroom, this was the Bob Fischer way

When Bob Fischer first started working in the House Democratic Cloakroom, it was still a smoke-filled room. Over the years, Fischer became an expert on floor procedure and strategy, helping Democrats avoid mishaps and mistakes. Fischer remembers the first time he used a computer to track votes on the House floor, shortly after he arrived in 1993. As manager, Fischer worked to modernize the cloakroom. He did have to briefly close the cloakroom during the coronavirus pandemic, turning away angry members while adjusting to new public health guidelines.
