Congressman-elect Jerry Carl (AL-01) on Monday announced three key staff hires, as the Republican from Mobile County prepares to take office upon the start of the 117th Congress on January 3, 2021.
First, Carl said in a statement he is “proud” to announce his selection of Chad Carlough to serve as his chief of staff.
“Chad has a wide breadth of experience on Capitol Hill, previously holding several roles in Congressman Bradley Byrne’s office, including Chief of Staff. I have the utmost confidence in Chad’s character and his ability, and I am excited to have him on board,” stated Carl.
He also announced the top in-state staffer for his congressional office, as well as his communications director.
“I’m also pleased to announce Elizabeth Roney will continue serving as District Director,” Carl advised. “Prior to serving as Congressman Byrne’s District Director, Elizabeth worked in the offices of both Congressman Sonny Callahan and Congressman Jo Bonner. Elizabeth’s long-standing experience will ensure a smooth transition from Congressman Byrne’s office to mine.”
Carl’s campaign manager will serve as his office communications director.
“Zach Weidlich will be joining our team as well on January 3rd as the Communications Director for my office. Zach did a great job running my campaign the last two years, and I am confident that he will continue to be an asset in my office,” the congressman-elect concluded.
