Comptroller-elect Brooke Lierman (D) unveiled on Thursday the leaders of a transition team that will help her prepare to take the helm of the state’s tax collector’s office come January.
And Lierman — the first woman to hold the post and the first woman independently elected to a statewide state government position in Maryland history — will be advised by a group of seasoned women leaders, as well as the outgoing four-term comptroller, Peter V.R. Franchot (D).
In addition to Franchot, the other honorary chairs of Lierman’s transition team are Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) and state Sen. Susan Lee (D-Montgomery). Co-chairs are former Treasurer Nancy Kopp, Del. Joseline Peña-Melnyk (D-Prince George’s and Anne Arundel), and Candace Dodson-Reed, chief of staff to the president of the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
“I am pleased and proud to have their support and counsel as I work to ensure that the comptroller’s office is set up for success on Day One,” Lierman said.
