WASHINGTON — A pair of North Alabama residents are heading to Capitol Hill to serve with U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt.
Lucy Allen will join as press assistant and Sam Chance is serving as staff assistant, Aderholt (R-Haleyville) announced.
Also, Washington veteran Stone Griffin has been promoted to policy analyst.
“Each of these individuals brings unique experience, energy, and a heart for service that reflects the values of Alabama’s Fourth District,” said Aderholt. “I’m proud to welcome Lucy and Sam to our team and to see Stone continue to grow in his new role.”
Allen, from Florence, will join the office in May following her graduation from Auburn University where she is completing a degree in public relations. She previously interned in Aderholt’s Washington office, where she gained firsthand experience with legislative operations, constituent communications, and Capitol tours.
“I am grateful to be joining Congressman Aderholt’s staff,” said Allen. “Starting as an intern last summer and now being part of the team full-time feels really special. Everyone on staff is hardworking and passionate, and I’m excited to learn from them while serving the district I grew up in.”
Chance, a native of Arab and graduate of Samford University, brings experience from the legal and nonprofit sectors, including roles at Heninger Garrison Davis, the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, and Pine Cove Ranch.
At Samford, he served on the Student Judiciary Council and graduated cum laude with a degree in business administration.
“Being in this office has already been such a blessing,” said Chance. “I have seen firsthand how our staff consistently goes above and beyond, and I am excited to learn from them. I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to serve my home district.”
Griffin, a native of Winchester, Va., and graduate of the University of Virginia, previously served as staff assistant in Aderholt’s office. His prior experience includes working for U.S. Reps. Greg Pence and Jen Kiggans.
“It’s an honor to continue serving Congressman Aderholt and our constituents in this new capacity,” he said.
