The California Republican Party announced this morning that it named Bill Christiansen its permanent chief operating officer after he served in a temporary capacity since the resignation of his controversy-plagued predecessor.
Christiansen led the party's 2006 election efforts and previously served as executive director of the Arizona Republican Party and the Republican Party of Orange County. The state party's announcement also notes he was a UCLA college representative for Reagan/Bush '84.
Christiansen stepped into the COO post in June after the resignation of Michael Kamburowski, an Australian immigrant suing the United States government for $5 million.
Kamburowski was ordered to be deported to Australia in 2001 and was jailed three years later. That prompted him to file a $5 million suit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for wrongful arrest.
That doesn't appear to be a problem for Christiansen. The state party, in its release, notes that "Christiansen is a native Californian from San Diego."
Bill Christensen is the former Arizona Republican Party Executive Director.
