Chief of Staff Jim Cauley Announces Decision to Leave Post in Beshear Administration

Governor appoints Adam Edelen to succeed Cauley

FRANKFORT, KY (June 18, 2008) – Governor Steve Beshear today announced the decision of Chief of Staff James Cauley to resign in order to pursue his own political consulting business.

“With his political acumen, strategic mind and never-failing good humor, Jimmy has been an integral part of my team and will be sorely missed,” Governor Beshear said, emphasizing that Cauley would continue to be a valuable advisor to him. “Jane and I and the entire staff were lucky to bring this Kentucky boy back home for my political campaign. Without him, I would never have been elected. We know this was a tough decision for Jimmy, but we understand that this is the right time in this talented young man’s career to move on to other opportunities.”
