January 2019 Group Watch: Jo Bonner To Be Ivey’s Chief of Staff
Governor Ivey recently named former U. S. Representative Jo Bonner her new chief of staff, about a month after hiring him as a senior advisor. Bonner will succeed Steve Pelham, Ivey’s longtime chief of staff, who has accepted an executive position with Auburn University. Bonner represented the first congressional district, centered around Mobile, from 2003-2013. He left Congress in 2013 to become vice-chancellor for government relations and economic development for the University of Alabama.
