Clyburn Names New Chief-of-Staff

Chanelle Hardy was named FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn’s chief of staff and media legal adviser, Clyburn’s office said Monday. The appointment is effective May 1‎. Hardy was the National Urban League’s senior vice president-policy and executive director of the group’s Washington, D.C., bureau, a news release said. She has been counsel and later chief of staff to then-Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala. "Chanelle Hardy is a deeply committed public servant, who brings significant experience in policy analysis, advocacy, strategic partnerships and media analytics to my office,” Clyburn said in the release. Former chief-of-staff Adonis Hoffman left the agency last month to start a think tank (see 1503260051).
