closeNed Sheehy, who has been Lexington’s lobbyist in Frankfort and Washington, has left the Urban County Government. He probably will become a political consultant, he said Thursday.
“That’s my life, that’s what I’ve done for 20 years now,” he said.
Sheehy, 45, made $80,500 a year as the city’s government relations director. He held several other positions before joining Mayor Jim Newberry’s administration, most notably as a vice president of what was then called the Greater Lexington Chamber of Commerce.
Susan Straub, a spokesman for Newberry, said Sheehy resigned effective Wednesday “for personal reasons and to pursue other opportunities.”
Sheehy said he had “nothing but praise” for Newberry, his staff, and members of the Urban County Council.
