Behind the scenes of any strong office is a Chief of Staff who ensures things run smoothly and effectively. It’s a role that requires sound judgment, trust, and a deep understanding of the work at hand. In our office, that person is Fitim Shabani, our Chief of Staff and the glue that holds our team together.
Fitim manages the day-to-day operations of the office, oversees constituent services, guides our communications, and ensures that every detail, big or small, is handled with care. His steady leadership and commitment to our community are at the heart of how we serve District 61.
Please join me in wishing Fitim a very happy birthday and in thanking him for his tireless commitment to public service.
