On Monday, Congressman Robert Aderholt announced the retirement of District Director Paul Housel after 25 years of Federal service.
“It is bittersweet that we announce Paul Housel, our District Director, will be retiring at the end of this year,” Aderholt said. “Paul has gone above and beyond in serving the constituents of the 4th District for more than two decades. He has helped an untold number of people get their VA benefits, their Social Security benefits, their war medals, and so much more. It would be impossible to know how many people turned to Paul, and our office, as their last resort, and more times than not, Paul was able to help them through a difficult situation.”
“Based out of our Jasper office,” Aderholt said. “Paul has been my representative on the ground when Congress was in session, and I could not be at an event, a meeting, or big announcement. He has many times played a role and helped lay the groundwork for projects that led to economic growth and more jobs for people in the 4th District.”
“While all of us on my staff will miss Paul, we know he has earned his retirement,” Aderholt continued. “And while he is retiring from Federal service, he will soon be embarking on a new career to continue to be a servant leader in North Alabama. I wish him, his wife Tricia, and their daughter Lucy, all the best in this new chapter.”
Congressman Aderholt will host a retirement reception for Paul so that his friends, and those he has helped, can wish him well in retirement:
Aderholt was recently re-elected to his nineteenth term representing Alabama’s Fourth Congressional District. With Republicans taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Aderholt could potentially chair the powerful House Appropriations Committee in the next Congress. Aderholt is an attorney who formerly served as legal counsel for Gov. Fob James. He is a native of Haleyville.
