The governor fired Neil Steininger, head of the Office of Management and Budget, last Friday.
Steininger was replaced by Lacey Sanders, formerly administrative services director for the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development.
The governor’s office declined to give a reason for the firing and switch. In a statement Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, the governor’s office said he looks forward to working with Sanders and that her experience will be valuable to the state.

Steininger served in the position from January 2020, five months after the end of the tenure of Donna Arduin, Dunleavy’s first budget director., an independent, nonpartisan news organization that covers Alaska state government.
