Washington, D.C. —- U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge today announced a senior staff hire in his Washington office.
Etheridge has appointed Patrick Devlin to the position of Deputy Chief of Staff. Devlin previously served more than a decade in Etheridge’s office as Legislative Director and Budget Committee Associate for one year and most recently served as Communications Director in the U.S. Senate, where he also served on the Board of the Senate Press Secretaries Association. Devlin will oversee policy and communications and the day-to-say operations of the Washington office in coordination with Etheridge’s North Carolina-based Chief of Staff.
“I’m glad to bring Pat back on board. He’s a veteran public servant who brings extensive experience in public policy and knowledge of North Carolina to our team,” Etheridge said. “I look forward his help as we move forward with common sense plans to improve educational opportunities and create jobs for North Carolina’s working families.”
Devlin is a graduate of Virginia Tech and brings more than 20 years of Capitol Hill and professional experience to the office. Patrick and his wife Helen Devlin live with their two sons in Virginia.
