| Description | Saikat Chakrabarti, the controversial chief of staff to high-profile freshman Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, will be leaving her office to work for a non-profit focusing on the Green New Deal.
Corbin Trent, Ocasio-Cortez's communications director, will also be leaving the congressional office. Trent will work on Ocasio-Cortez's 2020 reelection campaign, according to the New York Democrat.
The moves were first reported by the Intercept.
Chakrabarti will depart Ocasio-Cortez's office on Aug. 2, while no date has been announced for Trent's exit.
"Saikat has decided to leave the office to work with New Consensus to further develop plans for a Green New Deal. I am extraordinarily grateful for his service to advance a bold agenda and improve the lives of the people in NY-14," Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement. "From his co-founding of Justice Democrats to his work on the campaign and in the official office, Saikat’s goal has always been to do whatever he can to help the larger progressive movement, and I look forward to continuing working with him to do just that.”
“With the Ocasio2020 campaign beginning to ramp up, I’ve asked Corbin to transition to the campaign full-time and he has agreed to do so," Ocasio-Cortez added. "I’m looking forward to growing the movement with him in Queens and the Bronx and across the country." |
