Staffing Changes for Senator, Rep Gonzo

Corinne Chacon, one-time District Director and then Special Projects coordinator for Senator Rodriguez turned in her two-weeks notice on Friday according to a source familiar with the situation.

Chacon is now going to be the Chief of Staff for Representative Mary Gonzalez. That position was previously held by long-time Austin staffer Roger Garza.

Following the departure of his District Director in the summer, the Senator is rumored to be promoting Sito Negron to the District Director position.

With Commissioner-Elect Stout ready to take office in January, Rodriguez's communications department seems to be in need of a couple of staffers. With session starting soon getting those positions staffed will likely be a priority for the Senator.

Roger Garza did not respond to requests for comment.

No formal announcement has been made by either office but it was confirmed through a social media post.
