Chief of Staff here. I bring 40 years of managerial experience to Rep. Thierry's office. Been there since Day 1. I've managed the employees over the years. Pls don't insult my leadership. I've hired many, and fired some based on performance. Most still keep in touch with us!
I find it very disingenuous and downright deplorable that
