OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s communications director Katy Merrifield is resigning.
Merrifield announced her departure in an email sent to the Conservative caucus Tuesday, adding her last day working in the Opposition Leader’s Office will be Friday.
The message says Micah Green will become the new communications director and Sam Lilly will be the new media relations director.
Merrifield says the promotions were her suggestion.
Merrifield joined Poilievre’s team last year around the time he began doing more mainstream media interviews and reaching out to talk to as many people as possible.
Merrifield’s email says she plans to return to “passion” projects she put on hold to take the top communications job.
