Assemblymember Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, is proud to announce the addition of Dexter-resident Kate Wehrle to her staff. Wehrle will work out of the Jefferson County office as the Assemblymember’s Special Assistant for Community Relations.
“I’m very pleased to have an opportunity to work with Addie,” Wehrle said. “This is an exciting time to be involved in government and I plan to hit the ground running.”
“Kate brings years of experience and intimate local knowledge to the table and I’m looking forward to having her on the team,” Russell said.
Wehrle has two adult children. Her son, Andrew, is an executive chef in Alexandria Bay and her daughter, Rebecca, works at the Tin Pan Galley in Sackets Harbor.
Wehrle, originally from Chaumont, has an undergraduate degree in political science from Alfred University and a masters in personnel administration from Buffalo State.
In addition to 17 years working with the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Council of Jefferson County, Wehrle has worked with a number of local government officials at all levels since the mid-1980’s.
