Burgess Introduces New Chief of Staff
“Kelle will serve the 26th District not only working in my Washington office, but also actively with my staff and constituents back home in Texas.” Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26) announced that he has selected Kelle A. Strickland as his new Chief of Staff. Strickland succeeds Barry Brown who, after holding the position for almost ten years, pursued opportunities in the private sector. Strickland, who has served as Counsel to the Chairman of the House Ethics Committee since 2010, will assume the new role effective November 5th. Strickland came to Capitol Hill in 2003, when she joined the office of Congressman Jo Bonner (AL-01), as Legislative Assistant. She later served as Legislative Director and Counsel, before being tapped for the Ethics Committee. “With almost ten years of service on Capitol Hill, Kelle brings expertise and experience that will be an invaluable addition to our office” said Dr. Burgess. “Kelle is held in high regard and she has a proven track record. Her enthusiasm and work ethic, coupled with her political, legislative, and leadership skills will make her a great addition to my office. Kelle will serve the 26th District not only working in my Washington office, but also actively with my staff and constituents back home in Texas.” Strickland, a native of Mobile, Alabama, is a graduate of Spring Hill College and earned her J.D. from Cumberland School of Law in 1996. She is a member of the District of Columbia Bar. ###
