Rep. Gabbard appears, hosts screening of political web series

The event was “green,” but Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) was seen sporting a bright red suit at a packed screening of the web series “Chasing the Hill” Saturday in Georgetown.

The show, which follows a fictional congressional campaign and stars “West Wing” alum Melissa Fitzgerald, was shown as part of the D.C. Environmental Film Festival.

Gabbard is one of several real-life politicians with a cameo in the series.

The congresswoman, who was all smiles Saturday, praised the Capitol Hill-focused show in a statement ahead of the screening, saying, “While many political dramas aim to capture the reality of public life, ‘Chasing The Hill’ hits the mark.”
