The team you put together the executive team, Commissioners and department heads, and the support staff in the Of?ce of the Governor are as professional and dedicated as any I could have imagined having the opportunity to work with. Your vision for a permanent ?scal plan, your commitment to keeping the promises you made to Alaskans during your campaign, and your personal integrity have all provided for the opportunity to be part of true change; a refreshing and innovative approach to governing our great State. My intention was to retire last December, however you asked me to serve ?rst as the Chair of your Transition Team and then as your Chief of Staff. That was a call to duty I could not decline. It has been an honor to serve. However, I am also dedicated to my wife, eight children, and nine grandchildren and I wish to once again focus upon them. The ship of Alaska will sail on, and with the experienced mariner Ben Stevens as your Chief of Staff, your administration is in excellent hands. Thank you for the opportunity to serve. My retirement is effective Friday, August 30, 2019. Sincerely, Tuckerman Babcock Senior Policy Advisor Strategic Affairs 550 West 7th Avenue, Suite 1700, Anchorage, AK 99501
