Ryan Finds New Floor Director
Hugh Halpern will replace Anne Bradbury

Hugh Halpern, the longtime staff director of the House Rules Committee, will be taking over as director of floor operations for Speaker Paul D. Ryan.
A senior Republican aide confirmed the move Tuesday morning.
Halpern will succeed Anne Bradbury, who Politico reported Tuesday is leaving Capitol Hill for the Duberstein Group.
“We could not ask for a more qualified person to step into this role than Hugh Halpern,” Ryan said in a statement. “No one knows the rules of the House better than Hugh, and he is trusted — and respected — by every member of the institution. I’m excited to have him on the team.”
