PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Jonathon Dworkin, director of
communications for U.S. Rep. James Langevin, is leaving to take a key
spot on Delaware Governor Jack Markell's staff.
Dworkin's last day on Langevin's staff is Monday.
After that, he heads to Delaware to serve as a communications adviser
to Democrat Markell, a former three-term state treasurer - and Brown
University alumnus - who stepped into the national spotlight when he was
sworn in as the 2012-13 chairman of the National Governors Association
last summer.
Dworkin describes the move as "a tremendous opportunity closer to home
(I'm from the Philadelphia area), though it's not at all an easy
decision... I've been very fortunate to do this job for someone who not
only works incredibly hard for his principles, but also does so while
treating everyone with respect, dignity and class.''
