Sink’s CFO office chief to move to campaign

Jim Cassady, chief of staff for state of the state Department of Financial Services for Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, is going to move over to Sink’s campaign for governor—but not as campaign manager.

The Sink campaign for governor already has a top administrator, campaign manager Paul Dunn.

Dunn will stay in that position, and Cassady “doesn’t have a defined title at this moment,” said campaign spokeswoman Conchita Cruz. “He’s obviously going to play an important role in the campaign.”

Cassady will be replaced by Tammy Teston, who currently is deputy CFO.

Like Sink, Cassady is a former banker—he was Broward County president for Bank of America, where Sink was state president.

Like Sink’s husband Bill McBride, Cassady also is a veteran who won a Bronze Star in Vietnam.
