Governor Hogan announced he has appointed Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio to a post as Deputy Chief of Staff, where she will oversee and coordinate policy issues affecting a number of government agencies and functions. Haddaway-Riccio has been a familiar face as a former Eastern Shore Delegate and more recently Governor Hogan’s Director of Intergovernmental Relations – where she has worked closely with MACo and many county officials.

“I will still be very involved with local governments,” she indicated in a conversation with MACo in advance of the public announcement. “We will have a lot of areas to be working on together.”
