WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.) today issued the following statement, announcing the departure of his longtime Chief of Staff, Shana Chandler, and other senior staff changes.

I am eternally grateful for the contributions she has made to our office, our district, and our country. Although her departure will be deeply felt, we wish her all the best in her future endeavors and look forward to seeing what more she will accomplish for our country.”
In addition to Chandler’s departure, the following staff changes will go into effect on May 6:
- Sarah Servin, currently Deputy Chief of Staff and District Director, will assume the role of Chief of Staff; and
- Glenn Carpenter, currently Deputy District Director, will assume the role of District Director.
