Wednesday, November 04, 2015
Charlie Hales said he was not run for re-election so he could focus on tackling some big issues facing Portland. But, Hales will not have that long-time Communications Director Dana Haynes along for the final 14-months. Haynes is stepping down, effective this month.
“Dana has been with me since before I was sworn into office. I am grateful for the work he has done on behalf of this office, and wish him well on his future endeavors” Hales said.
“It’s been a great honor serving this mayor and serving Portland,” Haynes said. “He has been an outstanding mayor and he is served by an outstanding team. I have no doubt that everyone will continue serving the community well.”
Haynes, 55, spent 20 years in Oregon newspaper newsrooms as a reporter, editor and columnist. He formerly served as communications director for Portland Community College. He lives in Portland.
Sara Hottman will be the new acting communications director post Haynes.
