Bond Shifts Staff to Political Operation for '08

Sen. Kit Bond announced today he was moving some key staff over to his political operation to prepare for the upcoming election cycle.

State Director, Jason Van Eaton, and Director for the Western Missouri District, Matt Roney, will move over to the political arm of Bond's operation.

A release states that "with a number of big races coming up in 2008, Bond wants to ramp up his political operation in-state." This restructuring will happen at the end of session.

Van Eaton and Roney have served Bond for more than a decade each.

Van Eaton was born and raised in Southwest Missouri. He has served in numerous capacities for Bond, most recently serving as Bond's State Director for over 7 years.
