Hannah Pingree is naming her picks to lead her transition into the governor’s office.
The governor-elect announced on Tuesday the names of 22 people leading the transition as she prepares to take over for Gov. Janet Mills in January.
Many of the people named are outside of state government, including leaders in labor, business and healthcare.
The team will seek out candidates to fill 15 cabinet positions and an appointee to the Workers Compensation Board.
The group is chaired by former Republican state lawmaker Roger Katz and Maulian Bryant, executive director of the Wabanaki Alliance.
The new names announced Tuesday include Judy Camuso, the former head of Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Luke Holden, founder of Luke’s Lobster, and Biddeford Mayor Liam LaFountain.
Pingree worked under Gov. Mills, but says any officials from the current administration will need to earn their place under her leadership.
