Rep. Granger hires yet another chief of staff

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 30, 2020

Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) has hired yet another chief of staff - the fifth to serve her office since last summer.

Before joining the office as Granger's first in command, Krister Holladay was a lobbyist for United Technologies Corp., now a part of Raytheon Technologies. He previously served as chief of staff to ex-Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) and legislative director to ex-Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.).

After then-chief Spencer Freebairn departed Granger's office for Raytheon in June 2019, the congresswoman hired Steve Moffitt (now chief to Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.)) and Catherine Knowles (now at the Alzheimer's Association) for the position. They lasted about two months and one month, repectively. Jordon Sims held the post from November until returning to Imperium Global Advisors in March.

Granger currently has the highest staff turnover rate in Congress, according to LegiStorm data.
