The White House has told @sarasendek, the longtime head of public affairs for @CISAgov, that her services are no longer needed, Sara tells me. Today is her last day on the job.
As a political appointee, Sendek would have left government service by Jan. 20. But she was still actively helping run CISA's response to the #SolarWinds hack as well as the agency's work in support of the Georgia runoffs.
Sendek said she had planned to stay on the job in the coming days and that she was surprised to be asked to leave by the White House.
She said she was not given a reason for her dismissal.
(To be clear, there are other public affairs professionals who will stay on at @CISAgov. So there is still a comms shop.)
