Sewell on the Retirement of Congressman Jo Bonner | 2013-05-23 | 2013 | 2013-05 | Democrat | House | AL | Terri Sewell | S001185 | sewell.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. Today, Congresswoman Terri A. Sewell (AL-07) released the following statement after Congressman Jo Bonner (AL-01) announced his retirement this afternoon effective August 15, 2013 in order to take a newly-created position of Vice Chancellor for Government Relations and Economic Development at The University of Alabama System: It has been such an honor to serve in Congress and the Alabama Delegation alongside Congressman Jo Bonner. Jo has always put the interests of his constituents ahead of partisan politics and I will miss the bipartisan town hall meetings we held together in Clarke County. Since his election in November 2002, Jo has left an indelible mark on Alabama's First Congressional District and this nation. Jo and his wife Jane have been dear friends and I wish them the best in the next step of their lives. I know The University of Alabama System will greatly benefit from his leadership and that he will help the State of Alabama continue to move forward. I'm very sorry to see Congressman Bonner leave the Alabama Delegation and the House of Representatives. ### Contact: Rob NeSmith; rob.nesmith@mail.house.gov; 202.225.2665 | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
