As Chief of Staff, Dimenstein managed all Washington, D.C. office operations and Schweikert\u2019s legislative priorities on the Ways and Means Committee.\n\n\u201cI want to thank Katherina for her dedication and service to Arizona\u2019s 6th District over the last eight years. She did an outstanding job for our office, especially her excellent work on promoting strong trade relationships for Arizona and helping modernize our tax code through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. She\u2019s an incredibly valued member of our team, and we will miss her.\u201d said Congressman David Schweikert\n\n\u201cI am incredibly thankful for Congressman Schweikert\u2019s support as I move on to this next step in my career. It has been an honor to work for David, and alongside the best team on Capitol Hill. David provided me the incredible opportunity to serve the people of Arizona, and I am forever grateful for his trust and support. I look forward to continuing to follow David\u2019s work to provide opportunity and success for all Arizonans.\u201d said Katherina Dimenstein\n\nThe Congressman\u2019s long time District Director and Deputy Chief of Staff Kevin Knight will take over as Acting Chief of Staff.\n\n###\n\nBack to News", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-28T00:42:23Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://schweikert.house.gov/2020/12/02/congressman-david-schweikert-announces-chief-staff-departure/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.58866704441607, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
