Roy McGrath was most known for serving as Larry Hogan’s former top advisor when he was governor of Maryland. After Matthew Clark resigned, Governor Larry Hogan chose Roy McGrath to succeed him as chief of staff.
Prior to serving as chief of staff, McGrath served as Maryland Environmental Service’s chief executive officer (C.E.O.).
His further expertise included serving as “the governor’s senior advisor, the deputy chief of staff, and the Maryland Board of Public Works liaison.”
On June 1, 2020, McGrath began working as a chief of staff. However, after receiving criticism for a severance package from the Maryland Environmental Service, he left on August 17, 2020.
