Many of Alabama’s Republican political leaders are showing their support for Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s choice to be the next White House Chief of Staff.

Trump made the announcement Friday on Truth Social, saying he has done an “outstanding job” as Deputy Chief of Staff.

Known for his stalwart support of the president’s immigration policies, Miller has been a part of Trump’s team since his election in 2016.

Miller also has a history with the Yellowhammer State, formerly working as an aide for former U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions.

“Stephen Miller is a GREAT AMERICAN,” Governor-elect Tommy Tuberville said in response to the decision. “He has been a steadfast, conservative warrior in the fight against socialism since day one, and I am confident he will be a great White House Chief of Staff.”

“Thank you, @SusieWiles47, for your tremendous service to our country,” U.S. Sen. Katie Britt said. “From being the first woman to serve as Chief of Staff in our country’s history to bravely battling breast cancer, Susie has been an inspiration to millions across the country. Congratulations, @StephenM, on your new role. I look forward to continue working together to deliver results for the American people.”

“Thank you to @SusieWiles47 for her service and dedication to President Trump,” Congressman Barry Moore said.  Congratulations to @StephenM on becoming Chief of Staff. Few have fought harder for the America First agenda. I know he’ll continue that fight in this new role.”

Governor Kay Ivey also lauded the pick and pointed out his previous connection to the state of Alabama.

“Susie has served @POTUS with dedication and grace,” Ivey said. “Thank you, Susie! I would also like to congratulate @StephenM on being named the next White House Chief of Staff. He had one of his early jobs with my good friend, Jeff Sessions. Alabama looks forward to your continued service.”
