Cole Announces Departure of District Director

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) announced that Jill Daugherty will leave her position as district director in September to accept a government relations position with the Chickasaw Nation. Daugherty has served on Rep. Cole's staff since 2003 and as district director since 2006.

"Jill has served with me since my first day in office, and I've never seen a better district director. Her talent in leading staff and working within the community has been an incredible asset to the people of the 4th District. Her solid advice has been indispensable to ensuring Oklahomans' best interests are represented in Congress.

"It will be difficult to replace someone of Jill's commitment, dedication, talent and personal integrity. I'm positive she will continue to play an important role in the state in her new capacity with the Chickasaw Nation, and I will continue to call upon her wise counsel."
