Today’s Commentary: BREAKING NEWS: Dan Dunmoyer Resigns, Governor Taps Vickie Bradshaw as New Cabinet Secretary

**A FlashReport Exclusive — We Had It Here First**

One of Governor Schwarzenegger’s most senior staff members, and certainly the highest placed conservative in the administration, Cabinet Secretary Dan Dunmoyer, is leaving the administration.  Replacing Dunmoyer will be another Republican, Victoria Bradshaw, currently the Secretary of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency.  This change at the highest levels of the Schwarzenegger Administration will be publicly announced later this morning.

There will be a short transition, but as Dunmoyer told me in a conversation last night, “Vickie is already prepared to hit the ground running.” 

In addition to be a current agency secretary since 2004, Bradshaw (pictured left with the Governor) actually held the position of Cabinet Secretary for former Governor Pete Wilson, and so she has some idea of the challenges ahead of her.  The Cabinet Secretary works with the Governor, and with the Governor’s Chief of Staff (remember, that’s former Democrat Party Executive Director Susan Kennedy), in liaising with all of the various agency secretaries and directors that make up the Governor’s Cabinet.  Bradshaw has a reputation for being a solid GOPer, and will have an important role to play in balancing the input that the Governor receives from the many Democrats who now populate senior levels of the administration.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if Dan could come back to Hemet and straighten out our mess at city hall … just wishful thinking … best of luck to you Dan in getting that position that will allow you to spend that quality time with your family … maybe one of those easy lobbying jobs … no … maybe not … db

    On a personal note, I have know Dan, Leilani and his family for years as we have attended the same church. He is a very good man, an excellent husband and a great father. Yes, he will be dearly missed in the Governor’s office because of the positive influence he has had, but I know it is time for Dan’s family to come first.
