LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Kelly Rossman-McKinney, communications director for the Michigan Attorney General’s Office, died Tuesday.

Rossman-McKinney fought a long battle with cancer. She started her career as a legislative secretary in 1979 before being selected by former Michigan Governor James Blanchard to help run the Michigan Youth Corps.

“Kelly was the gold standard for public relations; respected by her peers and admired by her colleagues,” Dana Nessel said.

McKinney was a co-founder and CEO of Truscott-Rossman Public Relations in Lansing. She joined the Attorney General’s Office in 2019.
