Fran Evans, the long-time aide to the Nassau County Legislature’s Presiding Officer Judy Jacobs, is leaving to become chief of staff and director of public information for Town of Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone. “And I’m happy to get her,” he said Wednesday.

Evans, who lives in Huntington, is a former managing editor for all 15 of the weekly Herald community newspapers covering Southwest Nassau County. She has been with Jacobs since 2000. There she first was press secretary, then director of public policy and, at the beginning of last year, named chief of staff. She holds a Master’s Degree in Public Policy from SUNY Stony Brook and, according to Petrone, will earn roughly what she earned at the legislature, $111,300 annually and will begin September 10.

Evans’ replacement with Jacobs has not yet been named.
