Cole Promotes Daugherty, Woods Joins Cargill

Congressman Tom Cole announced today that Jill Daugherty has been promoted to district director and will begin her responsibilities in this new position on December 11, 2006. The District Director manages the three district offices located in Norman, Ada and Lawton. Daugherty replaces John Woods, who is joining the staff of House Speaker Lance Cargill.

"I am very excited to have Jill as our District Director--she has proven herself to be a motivated field rep, a smart politician and a strong leader. John Woods has certainly set the bar high and he will be missed in our office, but I know Jill is up for the challenge," Cole said. "Jill's experience and knowledge of the district will continue to make here an asset to our staff in this new position."

Daugherty is currently a senior field representative for Congressman Cole in the Southeastern portion of the district. She has held this position since Congressman Cole was elected to Congress in 2003. Daugherty, an Oklahoma State University graduate, worked for Governor Frank Keating as a public policy specialist and Cabinet liaison.

"Jill is well suited to lead the Congressman's Oklahoma offices. She has the knowledge of the district and the workings of the federal government to lead the staff exceptionally well," John Woods said.
