Current Chief-of-Staff Fred Ferguson recently accepted a position with a Utah-based company in the private sector. “I have every confidence in Amber and Clay. They have each played an integral role in our office and have earned these new responsibilities. Amber’s deep policy knowledge, decisive nature, and collaborative approach make her an ideal candidate for the Chief of Staff role. From his early days as an intern in our Provo office, Clay distinguished himself as a hard worker with a quick grasp of complex issues. “It has been my pleasure to work with Fred over the past eight years and to watch him work his way from staff assistant to Chief of Staff. His work ethic, leadership, and ability to connect with people have made him a valuable asset to our office. His extensive knowledge in natural resources policy was invaluable for the State of Utah and will serve him well in his new position.” More on Amber and Clay: Amber Kirby Talley began working as Legislative Director for Congressman Chaffetz in February 2015 after serving as Counsel for the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform since August 2014.
