Following a monthslong search, Chester County Commissioners Marian Moskowitz, Josh Maxwell and Michelle Kichline appointed Erik Walschburger as deputy county administrator. He will support county administrator Bobby Kagel in the supervision and direction of all county government programs and administrative operations.
Walschburger comes to the Commissioners' Office from the Chester County District Attorney's Office, where he most recently led the appellate unit and prepared and presented cases before the Pennsylvania Superior and Supreme Courts. He previously oversaw all of the diversionary programs and Treatment Courts for the District Attorney's Office.
Currently, Kagel has 21 department heads reporting to him. By adding Walschburger, he will have fewer direct reports. The change will allow him to devote more time and attention to working with the commissioners on issues like trying to reopen two recently closed county hospitals and ensuring that elections run smoothly.
Walschburger received his law degree from Widener University after graduating from Temple University.
