Staff Report From Metro Atlanta CEO

Wednesday, July 19th, 2017

U.S. Congresswoman Karen Handel has announced who will serve on her senior staff in our nation's capital as well as the district office in Roswell.

Serving as Handel's chief of staff will be Muffy Day, who comes to the team from the office of U.S. Congresswoman Mia Love of Utah where she held the same position. Before Love's election, Day was chief of staff for Rep. John Campbell from 2008 until his retirement. She has 15 years of experience on Capitol Hill where she got her start as a legislative assistant for Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

Others working in the D.C. office include scheduler, Ashley Dalton, who held the same position on Handel’s campaign; legislative correspondent, Kim Waskowsky; and staff assistant, Justin Forrister.

The Roswell office will be led by District Director Ashley Jenkins, a Cobb County resident who previously served on the Sandy Springs City Council. She's been a 6th District resident for about two decades. Serving as deputy district director will be Donovan Head, who comes home to the 6th District after working for Congressman Austin Scott in Warner Robins.

“I am excited to announce these initial appointments," Handel said in a statement. "Muffy Day brings significant knowledge of how to maximize the effectiveness of the office and the team. Ashley Jenkins is a longtime community leader with deep knowledge and relationships across the district. Everyone on the team will work hard every day on behalf of the people of Georgia’s 6th District.”
