Dave McEllis. Tireless workhorse who gets the details while also recognizing the big picture. A rare combo. Willing to tackle the tedious and transformative with same enthusiasm and commitment to excellence.

Dave got a lot of very strong nominations. Jo Johnson on the Senate GOP staff was a mighty close second. She’s also a great pal and she wins runner-up.

Ben Lazare, hands down. He is all over Medicaid and is always so cool, calm, and collected. Very agreeable to listen to issues and work on projects. He exudes confidence in meetings and cracks me up when he kicks his feet up on the desk in his office, no matter who is there.

Judging by the comments and discussions with others, Mark Jarmer is most definitely an up-and-comer, so he wins honorable mention.

Congrats to our winners!

You can continue commenting on today’s awards. The comments won’t appear on the site, but I can read them. Lots of folks are over at the Board of Elections, which may have kept the volume a bit low here today.
