SEATTLE -- Washington Gov.-Elect Bob Ferguson filled his executive leadership team Thursday.
"I'm committed to taking on our toughest challenges, getting results, and centering the people in all decisions of state government," Ferguson said in a release from his office. "I'm excited to get to work with my executive leadership team to improve the lives of all Washingtonians."
Ferguson restructured his leadership team for the governor's office, where there will not be a chief of staff but instead the chief operations officer and chief strategy officer.
The chief operations officer will be Shane Esquibel, who has served as chief deputy attorney general since 2016.
The chief strategy officer will be Mike Webb, who will lead Ferguson's policy, legislative and communications work and oversee strategy for the governor's office. Webb is currently the chief of staff to the attorney general.
