Congressman Bradley Byrne (AL-01) on Friday announced that Seth Morrow will serve as his chief of staff.

Morrow, a native of Guntersville, has worked for Byrne since June 2014, serving as deputy chief of staff and communications director. Morrow took a leave of absence from the congressional office to serve as Byrne’s senatorial campaign manager this cycle.

Byrne is set to leave office come January 2021. He has been a member of Congress since January 2014.

“As we enter the last half of 2020, my office remains busy assisting constituents and advancing our legislative priorities,” Byrne said in a Friday statement.

“I know Seth shares my focus on finishing out my term in Congress strong, and he is well prepared to move into the Chief of Staff role,” the Republican congressman continued. “My staff and I will continue working hard every day to fight for the people of Southwest Alabama and advance our conservative agenda.”

Morrow stated,“I am grateful for this opportunity, and I’m committed to ensuring our office maintains our first class service to the people of Southwest Alabama.”

“Congressman Byrne has always had the hardest working team on Capitol Hill, and I know we will keep that tradition going,” he added.

Morrow succeeds Chad Carlough as Byrne’s chief of staff. Carlough is leaving the office after also previously serving as legislative director.

“Chad has very ably led our Congressional team over the last few years, and I join the people of Southwest Alabama in thanking him for his dedicated service to our state and our country,” Byrne concluded.
