Wasserman

Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia has a new Chief of Staff. In an email to state government staff sent out yesterday, Garcia announced that Scott Wasserman will be taking over the job from Andrew Freedman, who left last month to head up the "Colorado Commits to Kids" tax initiative. From the email:

I am pleased to announce that Scott Wasserman will be joining our office as the new Chief of Staff beginning September 1.

Scott has a strong reputation as a collaborative leader who has the ability to cultivate and develop relationships with a wide array of stakeholders. He has served in a variety of legislative and government relations positions over the past 12 years and brings a tremendous level of experience from his most recent job as executive and political director of Colorado Workers for Innovation and New Solutions (WINS).

This is a good hire for Garcia. Wasserman is a veteran politico who understands state government and the legislature.
