Gov. Mike Dunleavy has appointed Cathy Munoz as acting commissioner of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Commissioner Tamika L. Ledbetter, who has been commissioner since 2018, gave her resignation letter to the governor today.
Acting Commissioner Munoz has been with the department since December 2018. She was a representative in the Alaska House for her hometown of Juneau for several years, and served on the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly.
“I am very much looking forward to spending time with my family, traveling abroad and welcoming the birth of our first grandchild,” said Ledbetter, who began her career with the State of Alaska in 2007 as a career development specialist. During her tenure with the department, she was the manager of the Mat-Su Job Center and later served as the regional manager for the Anchorage/Mat-Su Economic Region before being appointed commissioner.
