Assemblyman Steve Hawley of the 139th Assembly District has announced the retirement of his Chief of Staff, Eileen Banker. After 19 years of service, Banker is stepping down from her role. She began working with Hawley in 2006 when he was first elected to the state Assembly. Hawley praised Banker’s dedication and contributions to the community.

“Eileen Banker is a model of what public service should look like,” said Hawley. “From being my chief of staff, to serving as the mayor of Albion and a former village trustee, her dedication to this community is unmatched. I’m thankful for her years of service to this district and its constituents, and I offer her the utmost congratulations on her well-earned retirement.”

In addition to Banker’s retirement, Hawley announced staffing changes within his office. Jayleen Carney will take over as Chief of Staff, having previously served as an executive assistant. Jacki Tarricone will join as the new executive assistant.

“I couldn’t be prouder of my staff as they continue to serve the people of Western New York,” said Hawley. “Jayleen has been an amazing asset to our team, putting in countless hours to keep our office running in good shape and planning events such as our annual Patriot Trip. I’m also proud to bring Jacki Torricone on board to continue our mission of providing meaningful results for the residents of the 139th Assembly District. Our offices are open and available to hear your concerns and address your needs.”
