Gov. Jim Gibbons' chief of staff isn't alone among senior state staff members working to get their boss reelected.
The governor's deputy chief of staff, Stacey Woodbury, is also maintaining and operating Gibbons' campaign Web site, according to the Reno Gazette Journal.
Woodbury is doing the work on the Web site, jimgibbons2010.com, after work hours and on weekends, she told the newspaper.
On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Sun reported that Gibbons' Chief of Staff Robin Reedy is hosting a fundraiser for the governor's reelection. Longtime political observers could not recall a similar event held by a governor's chief of staff, and some raised questions about the appearance that politics is seeping into the day-to-day operation of state government.
Both Reedy and Woodbury dismissed concerns.
“There’s always a perception and anybody can slant anything the way they want to,” Woodbury said. “But when I’m at home on the weekend and not traveling, that’s when I work on the Web site.”
Woodbury is a former director of the state Ethics Commission.
