House Republican Chief of Staff Resigns

George Gallo, chief of staff to the House Republicans, has resigned. Gallo, a casualty of the federal investigation of campaign practices, made his announcement this afternoon.

Gallo is a veteran of Republican politics. He served as executive director of the state party, managed John Rowland’s 2002 re-election campaign, and was party chairman. He became House Republican chief of staff when Lawrence Cafero was elected minority leader in 2007.

The investigation continues.
