Alex Haskell, chief of staff for the Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA), is leaving his job at the White House on Friday, Politico reports.
Haskell, a top White House staffer, has been in the job for nearly two years — making him among the longest-tenured chiefs of staff working in the White House, according to Politico.
He aided former director of legislative affairs Louisa Terrell and current director Shuwanza Goff in directing the White House's work on the Hill. Goff said she "relied on his advice and knowledge every single day."
Haskell went to work for the Biden administration in the days after the president's inauguration. He started as a senior deputy associate counsel on the vetting team. Haskell also worked in vetting Supreme Court nominees to fill the post that ultimately went to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Politico noted.
He plans to move to New York. His Linkedin profile says he graduated from George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., in 2011.
The new chief of staff at OLA will be Garrett Lamm, who is currently the White House director of correspondence, Politico said.
