Mr. Tencher goes to Washington

Kudos + Congrats to Paul Tencher, formerly chief of staff to LG Elizabeth Roberts, whose future is taking him to the nation's capital:

I've been offered a job (and accepted) with Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy of Ohio's 15th Congressional District. She is an outstanding freshman member of the 111th Congress and I have already visited her district in Columbus (Go Buckeyes!). I'm excited to be her Communications Director and to finally put the "Hill Staffer" title on my resume. It will be an honor.

Via e-mail, Tencher, a West Warwick native, says he cannot express how much he is going to miss home. "And Rhode Island will always be my home. Just a long commute now."
