Office of the Arizona Governor Doug Ducey issued the following announcement on Oct. 15.
Governor Doug Ducey announced Jake Agron will join his office as the new Deputy General Counsel, a key position in the Office of General Counsel which provides legal advice and support to the Governor’s Office.
Agron will succeed Nicole Colyer, who is pursuing an opportunity with Arizona State University. Agron will begin on October 25, 2021.
“Jake is a talented legal mind and dedicated public servant,” said Governor Ducey. “For years, he has supported our state Legislature, and I know that experience will translate well to the executive branch. We have an ambitious agenda for the year ahead, and Jake’s experience in election law, in particular, will be critical in our efforts to make meaningful reforms to our election system. We look forward to his joining our team.”
Colyer has served as Deputy General Counsel since 2018 and has been with the State of Arizona since 2015. She has played an integral role in developing universal license recognition and appointing qualified judges.
“I’m grateful to our outgoing Deputy General Counsel, Nicole Colyer, for all her hard work,” said Governor Ducey. “She worked overtime throughout the entirety of the pandemic to support the full recovery of Arizona’s small businesses, the reopening of our classrooms, and more. I know she will continue to produce results at ASU.”
