Murkowski loses chief of staff

13

Last month, Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced that her state director was leaving for the private sector. Today, it’s her Chief of Staff Kaleb Froehlich who is leaving.

“Kaleb has led my office for well over three years, and while I’m sad to lose him, I’m grateful he will have this opportunity to spend more time in Alaska with his family. Kaleb is a strong and talented leader and has been a valuable asset for the Alaskans we all serve. I wish him, Annie, and their three children well in their next chapter.”

Murkowski will announce her new Chief of Staff in the weeks ahead, she said in a press release.

Froehlich came on as chief of staff in January, 2021, upon the departure of Michael Pawlowski, who had served since 2011, when Ed Hild left for other opportunities.

Froehlich was born and raised in Juneau and is the son of retired Alaska District Judge Peter Froehlich.
