Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is shaking up his staff, announcing fundamental changes that will take effect in mid-November. In a move signaling continuity and experience within his administration, DeWine tapped Christine Morrison, the current deputy chief of staff, to ascend as the new chief following Stephanie McCloud's departure on November 15, according to the official press release from the Mike DeWine Governor of Ohio office.
Acknowledging McCloud's service, Governor DeWine expressed satisfaction with her two-year tenure as chief of staff. According to the same release, McCloud will not depart the administration altogether but will return to her previous post as Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation Administrator starting November 18. This switch has Christine Morrison excited about being the next to serve as the new chief of staff, a role she will assume starting November 18.
The game of administrative musical chairs will also see a shift for John Logue, the current Administrator at BWC. He will assume the position of Deputy Administrator at the same bureau, where his expertise and experience are expected to continue benefiting Ohio's workers. "I thank Stephanie for fulfilling her two-year commitment to me and her work as chief of staff, and I am fortunate that Christine Morrison has agreed to take over as chief of staff," Mike DeWine, Governor of Ohio, told the press.
