Declan Fitzpatrick, chief executive of the aviation regulator, publicly endorsed Jim Gavin in the presidential race. The aviation regulator refused to state whether Fitzpatrick was speaking in a personal capacity when he made the endorsement. Several high-ranking executives in semi-state agencies publicly backed Jim Gavin, departing from the usual practice of avoiding party-political engagement. Those executives’ endorsements represent a break with the tradition of staying out of party politics among senior semi-state leaders. The public support has drawn attention to the boundary between personal political expression and official roles in state agencies.
