From Lynn Bartels at the Denver Post, Gov. John Hickenlooper has selected well-known Denver attorney Doug Friednash to be his new Chief of Staff:

Friednash, a former state lawmaker, also served as the city attorney for Denver Mayor Michael Hancock before joining the Brownstein firm.

Friednash replaces Roxane White, who resigned last year to oversee a national nursing program serving first-time moms living in poverty. She also served as Hickenlooper’s chief of staff when he was mayor of Denver.

Friednash won't officially sit behind his new desk until February 2. Interim Chief of Staff Kevin Patterson will move to a new "Chief Administrative Officer" role within the Governor's office.
