LePage’s deputy chief of staff resigns

Gov. Paul R. LePage announced Monday that Kathleen Newman, his longtime deputy chief of staff and legislative director, has resigned.

“We are sorry to see Kathleen go, and we will miss her vast depth of knowledge, as well as her expertise and skill at dealing with legislative matters,” LePage said in a press release. “But we are pleased she will now get to enjoy some much-deserved time off before she starts the next chapter in her life. We wish her well.”

The news release did not say what was next for Newman.

Before joining the LePage administration, Newman served as president and CEO of Associated Builders and Contractors of Maine. Prior to that, Newman operated her own political consulting firm, which provided governmental and regulatory affairs services and political campaign management.
