The former press secretary for Gov. Michael Dunleavy has accepted a position as campaign manager for Sen. Dan Sullivan, he announced today.
Matt Shuckerow was on the official staff as press secretary for Sullivan in Washington, D.C. until he decided to move back to Alaska and take a job with the new Dunleavy Administration.
He had also been press secretary for Congressman Don Young for several years.
He left the Dunleavy Administration at the end of business on Oct. 14. The governor’s Deputy Communications Director Jeff Turner is the media’s point of contact until the governor finds a new press secretary.
Governor Dunleavy should have elevated Shuckerow to head up communications within his government instead of M. A. Pruitt who has been ineffective in assisting the Governor articulate need for consolidating and reducing government spending.
The mystery is why Pruitt is still on the public’s payroll.
Oh well …….
I get so tired of reading about the “hand-me-down” personnel in the Republican Party. It just brings on more “junk” thinking with no way out of the “dead beat” job market of the state and federal job market in politics.
