Kansas Attorney General’s Office
In a LinkedIn post in February 2025, announcing his resignation from the state of Kansas, Kambli wrote: “This past Friday was bittersweet as it was my last day at the Kansas Attorney General’s Office. When I first took the job and moved my family to Kansas, I was excited about the opportunity but didn’t truly know how it would all turn out. 15 months later, I’m very proud of all that we’ve accomplished and have no doubt that our work made a positive impact in the state of Kansas and the country as a whole.
“Thank you to Attorney General Kobach and the leadership team at the office for trusting me with the task of standing up this new division. And thank you to the attorneys on my team, Erin Gaide and Jay Rodriguez. Whatever we lacked in resources we more than made up for in creativity and pure determination. And there’s no one else I’d rather have on my team for this adventure.
“Leading the Special Litigation Division was the best job I ever had and I wish I had more time to build upon all the work we had done. But there was another opportunity that came up that was also a calling I had to answer. I’ll provide an update on that.”
He later announced starting a new position as Deputy Associate Attorney General at U.S. Department of Justice.
