Kamala Harris’s communication director departs, in latest staff exit from VP’s office

Vice President Kamala Harris’s communications director will leave her office in the latest staff exit.

Jamal Simmons, who held the position for about a year, is departing next month to move to New York with his family.

“Working for Vice President Harris has been an honor and a privilege. I’m so thankful for the confidence she put in me and I will miss this fantastic team more than anything,” Mr. Simmons told Politico in a statement.

Mr. Simmons was hired last year after Ms. Harris struggled to retain staff in her first year, which saw a high turnover rate and reports of a negative work environment.
