Team will include Andre Herndon and Mary Hodge as Deputy Chiefs of Staff and Breelyn Pete as Deputy Mayor of Legislative and External Affairs

Mayor Eric Garcetti today announced changes at the highest levels of his administration, elevating a number of experienced aides to senior posts.

Breelyn Pete will serve as Deputy Mayor of Legislative and External Affairs, assisting the Mayor with City Council, County, and regional leaders, and with his ongoing advocacy in Sacramento and Washington D.C.

Now confirmed by the City Council, Greg Good will leave his post as Chief of Legislative and External Affairs to bring his wealth of knowledge and record of leadership to the Board of Public Works (BPW).

Outgoing President of BPW, Kevin James, will join the Mayor’s staff as Chief of Legislative Affairs.

All of these announcements come on the heels of last Friday’s announcement that Brenda Shockley will serve as the city’s first Chief Equity Officer, bringing her lifetime of experience fighting for racial justice to the center of our work at City Hall, while remaining in her post as Deputy Mayor for Economic Opportunity.
