Social media influencer and wedding dress designer Hayley Paige is set to testify at a Senate hearing about banning noncompete agreements, the latest example of how members of the Senate are using online influencers to push their policy initiatives and educate the public about their legislative efforts. Paige, who has over 1.1 million followers on Instagram, was forced to stop designing dresses after her former employer sued her under a noncompete agreement, which limits workers’ ability to continue to work in the same industry.
