Iowa Governor-Elect Sand Names Abe Rakov as First Chief of Staff
Iowa Governor-elect Rob Sand announced at his first news conference as governor-elect in Des Moines on November 9 that Abe Rakov will serve as his first chief of staff.
Sand, a Democrat, defeated Republican Zach Lahn in the November 3 election and takes office in January. Rakov's appointment is among the first as Sand builds out his transition team and prepares his administration.
Sand said he first met Rakov in 2018. As chief of staff, Rakov will run the governor's office day to day and oversee the transition, with further team announcements to follow. (Source: Office of the Iowa Governor-Elect)
