WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) today unveiled his new senior team as he prepares to go on offense for President Trump in the 119th Congress. Jordan Doufexis, the Senator’s Deputy Chief of Staff and State Director, will serve as Chief of Staff. Mary Blanche Hankey, who previously served as Chief of Staff, will be Chief Counsel and Senior Advisor. Kaitlin Stoddard, formerly a Senior Policy Advisor, will serve as Legislative Director. Mallory Jaspers will continue serving as Communications Director.
“If there’s one thing I learned during my coaching career, it is the importance of recruiting a strong team,” said Senator Tuberville. “Jordan is a proven winner who has been in the trenches with me from day one. He has earned the respect of the entire team and knows Alabama like the back of his hand. Mary Blanche served me well as Chief of Staff in the 118th Congress, and I know she will continue to excel as my legal advisor. Kaitlin has been an integral part of my legislative team. I am confident that with her at the helm, we will deliver legislative wins for Alabamians and President Trump. Mallory has built a lethal communications operation that will continue to work around the clock to get our message to Alabamians.
I’m proud of the all-star team I’ve assembled and am confident that I have the right leadership in place to continue to be a sledgehammer for President Trump in the 119th Congress. My team is already hitting the ground running to deliver wins for Alabama and for the country.”
