FINDLAY, Ohio, May 1, 2017 - Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) today announced that Patricia Richards, head of office for MPC`s Federal Government Affairs, will retire from the company effective July 1. Jake Menefee, currently federal government affairs manager, will transition into his new role as head of office beginning May 8.

"Patricia leaves behind a legacy of remarkable service to our company," said MPC Chairman, President and CEO Gary Heminger.
