Jim Cooper (TN-5) recently announced several changes to his staff, including the retirement of a top employee in his Nashville office, Don Majors. A former district councilman, Majors worked almost 12 years for Cooper, rising to the position of director of special projects. “Don Majors is one of the best people in Nashville,” Cooper said. “Retired from DuPont, he spends every day helping others. He knows our city from top to bottom and everyone likes him. We will miss him but know he will find other ways to serve the public.” Cooper in recent weeks also has welcomed two new fellows to his staff. Daniel Gilliam has joined as Cooper’s new fellow on veterans issues. A United States Navy veteran with combat experience in Iraq, Gilliam most recently served as a counselor at Operation Stand Down in Nashville, where he assisted in finding employment for honorably discharged veterans. Based in Cooper’s Nashville office, Gilliam is a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University and Cumberland University. Justin Tooley has accepted the position of education fellow. A former Teach for America staffer, Tooley most recently held the position of Chief of Staff to the Assistant Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Education. Tooley has valuable experience as a teacher and administrator in high schools in Atlanta and Memphis. He is based in Cooper’s Washington office. “I’m grateful to have Daniel and Justin on my staff,” Cooper said. “Both are extremely knowledgeable in their fields, and they’re deeply committed to helping Tennessee’s Fifth District.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
