Statement

Representative Zoe Lofgren, Chair of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and Representative Jo Bonner, Ranking Republican Member of the Committee today announce the selection of R. Blake Chisam to serve as the Committee’s Staff Director and Chief Counsel. The appointment will take effect May 1, 2009. “I’m certain that Blake will bring the same professionalism and dedication to the Committee that he has demonstrated throughout his career,” noted Chair Lofgren. “The Committee’s mission is to serve the institution, its Members and staff, and to assure the public that Members and staff adhere to the highest standards of ethics in government. The bipartisan nature of this appointment clearly points to Blake’s proven abilities to manage staff, along with technological and business process changes, in challenging legal environments.” “The past several months have been challenging for the committee. Last summer, Chairwoman Tubbs -Jones passed away unexpectedly; we finished the 110th Congress with an interim chairman and an interim staff director and we’ve had a number of other vacancies on the staff to deal with as well,” Ranking Member Bonner stated.
