Boehner's Chief of Staff, Cornell Alum, Dies

Paula Nowakowski died on January 10, apparently of a heart attack. She was chief of staff for House Minority Leader John Boehner:

"Words cannot adequately express the sorrow and disbelief I and every member of our team are grappling with today in the wake of this stunning news," Boehner said.

According to WhoRunsGov. com, a Washington Post Co. Web site, Ms. Nowakowski grew up in St. Clair Shores, Mich., and studied English at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.

She told Politico of being made more conservative by the campus "rise of the loony left," citing "wacky, wacky stuff," which shaped her politics.

The Politico article referenced has more biographical information on Nowakowski.

Thanks MA.
