Aide who wrote Mike Shirkey's apologies leaving to work for Dana Nessel

LANSING — Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, under fire for conspiratorial and misogynistic comments, is losing a top female aide who circulated the public apology he undermined last week.

Amber McCann, who served as deputy chief of staff and press secretary for the Clarklake Republican, is going to work for Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel as a special projects director, Nessel's office confirmed.

McCann did not immediately respond to a voicemail seeking comment on the rationale for the move. Nessel communications director Kelly Rossman-McKinney, who McCann will report to, said conversations about the career shift began in the "last two or three weeks."

Pending completion of a background check, McCann is expected to start her new job on March 8. She will work as special projects director in the AG's Office of Public Information and Education, Rossman-McKinney said in a statement.

over a year. Today I emailed the president of the company and told him I have contacted Ms Nessel's office and got two return calls from Hansons within one hour.
Seem to work. I have a famous Michigan name, not me, but the same name. Our Governor remembered me by name a year later.
