Mike Brunelle is stepping down as Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf's Chief of Staff.
Wolf made the announcement on Thursday.
"Mike Brunelle has led my administration through unprecedented times including the COVID-19 pandemic," said Wolf in a release.
"Mike negotiated major pieces of legislation including Act 77, which greatly expanded access to voting for Pennsylvanians. He worked across the aisle to negotiate budgets in the most difficult situations, facing multi-billion-dollar budget deficits.
"I am proud of Mike's work and his contribution to my administration, and I look forward to seeing the work he will do throughout his career."
Bruenelle is taking a job in the private sector. Elena Cross, currently Deputy Chief, will take over as Chief of Staff to Wolf on June 26.
In addition, Budget Secretary Jen Swails is also leaving the administration for a private sector job. She will be replaced by Special Advisor to the Budget Secretary, Gregory Thall.
