Washington staff changes for two Kentucky lawmakers

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

The Washington offices of two members of Kentucky's Congressional delegation are undergoing some shuffling this week.

The Louisville Courier-Journal reports U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning's (R-Southgate) chief of staff Blake Brickman is leaving D.C. to pursue a legal education.

Brickman will reportedly be replaced by Bunning's current legislative director, Kim Dean, while staffer William Henderson will move up to fill Dean's position.

James Carroll of the Courier-Journal also reports U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Louisville) has hired Lennie Shewmaker, of Danville, as a health issues legislative assistant.

Bunning is next up for re-election in 2010, while Yarmuth faces former U.S. Rep. Anne Northup (R-Louisville) this year.
