Jordan Doufexis will take on the role of Chief of Staff, transitioning from his previous position as Deputy Chief of Staff and State Director. Mary Blanche Hankey, who served as Chief of Staff, will now be Chief Counsel and Senior Advisor. Kaitlin Stoddard steps into the role of Legislative Director, while Mallory Jaspers continues her work as Communications Director.

Senator Tuberville expressed confidence in his team: “If there’s one thing I learned during my coaching career, it is the importance of recruiting a strong team,” he said.
