Journalist Taylor Holland Named Chief of Staff to Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay

Taylor Holland, formerly of the Washington Examiner, has been hired as the chief of staff for Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay. Holland covered Northern Virginia, and was formally hired on April 2. 

“Taylor will be a tremendous asset to our Lee District team and I am glad to have him on board,” said McKay in a press release. 

Holland, who takes the job from Mike McClanahan (who held the position for just over a year) previously reported for the Selma Times-Journal and the Tuscaloosa News in Alabama. He received his degree in journalism from the University of Alabama.

“I’m very grateful for this opportunity,” said Holland. “This is an exciting time for Lee District and South County, especially with construction of the Springfield Town Center, the revitalization of Route One, and the many activities and projects that make Lee District such a great place. I’m looking forward to building on the great constituent service that we have in Lee District and to working closely with the community.”

In March, the Examiner announced the end of its local news operation. More than 80 journalists were laid off.
