[tps_title]Philip Bryan, Chief of Staff, Office of the President Pro Tem of the Alabama Senate[/tps_title]

While there has been significant turnover in legislative staff since Republicans first came into power in 2010, Bryan has remained a constant force on the 7th floor (Senate) of the Alabama Statehouse. That experience and expertise has earned him the respect of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

He’s often the only non-senator in the room when Senate Leadership sets the calendar for the week. “Have you talked to Philip?” has become shorthand for “Have you gotten Leadership to sign off?”

Bryan is an intense political tactician whose skills were honed as the top communications staffer at the ALGOP prior to Republicans taking over the Legislature. He has been instrumental in the execution of Republicans’ legislative agenda, including major school choice reforms.
