MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Republican Governor-elect Tommy Tuberville has tapped Hannah Eddins to serve as communications director for his administration.
Eddins currently works as Tuberville’s deputy communications director in his U.S. Senate office. She is originally from Samson, Alabama, and holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Auburn University.
“Hannah has been fighting with me in the trenches since my 2020 Senate campaign,” Tuberville said. “She’s an excellent communicator and extremely hard worker who has built great relationships with both Alabama and national media. Hannah knows me, knows what I stand for, and will make sure Alabamians hear directly about what we’re doing and why.”
Eddins will join chief of staff Jordan Doufexis, whose appointment Tuberville announced last week. Additional appointments will be shared weekly, per a press release from the transition team.
As he works to build his new administration, the governor-elect also announced Friday a new website dedicated to transition and inauguration information. It features an interactive version of the policy playbook Tuberville campaigned with as well as a jobs portal for people interested in serving in his administration.
“We’re looking for dedicated patriots who love America and love Alabama,” Tuberville said. “These are paid positions, but public service has to mean more than collecting a paycheck. If you’re just looking to punch the clock and head for the door at 4:30, this probably isn’t the team for you. We need men and women willing to roll up their sleeves, take responsibility, and do the work it takes to change Alabama.”
Tuberville will be inaugurated on Jan. 18, 2027.
