Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s office is undergoing key staff changes with the departure of his chief of staff, Krysta Sinclair Juris. This move marks another significant transition in the senator’s office, which has seen several departures amidst concerns about Fetterman’s health and evolving political image.
New Leadership
Following Juris’ departure, Cabelle St. John, who previously held roles as Fetterman’s deputy chief of staff, senior adviser, and scheduling director, is stepping into the role of chief of staff. Senator Fetterman expressed confidence in St. John, highlighting her longstanding advisory role and stating his belief in her ability to excel in the new position.
Continued Turnover
Over the past year and a half, Senator Fetterman’s office has seen the departure of his former chief of staff, top communications aides, and legislative director. The recent exit of two more aides adds to the ongoing changes within the office.
During a recent debate with Senator Dave McCormick, Fetterman addressed concerns about his absenteeism from votes and committee hearings, dismissing them as unfounded attacks. He defended his record, emphasizing his commitment to his duties despite occasional missed votes due to family commitments.
Additional Challenges
Aside from health-related concerns, some former staffers have expressed frustration over Fetterman’s staunch support of Israel and his recent meeting with former President Donald Trump. These actions have sparked internal discord within the office.
As Pennsylvania Senator Fetterman navigates these staffing changes and addresses criticism of his political stances, the dynamics within his team continue to evolve. Stay informed about the latest developments in the senator’s office as new leadership takes charge and challenges arise.
