After more than 30 years of public service, FEC Staff Director James A. Pehrkon has retired. Mr. Pehrkon had served as Staff Director since 1999, and before that was Deputy Staff Director for Management. He began his service to the FEC as Director of Data Systems.
FEC Chairman Scott Thomas commented: “Jim helped develop many of the programs that the Commission uses today, including the disclosure system. He also helped assure agency staff had the resources they needed. We wish him well.”
The Commission will immediately begin a search for a new Staff Director. In the interim, Robert J. Costa will continue to serve as Acting Staff Director.
