Deal’s attorney, Randy Evans, was also named.

 

Several other legislators are on the committee, including Rep. Melvin Everson, Rep. Jan Jones, Sen. Jeff Mullis and Sen. Chip Pearson.

 

Other members include: Jimmy Allen, Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, Dan Lee, Rob Leebern, Bill Lingenfelter, Steven Meeks, Trisha Pridemore (who serves as a co-chair of the inaugural team), Neil Pruitt, Wesley Smith, Michael Shaffer, Joe Tanner, Charles Tarbutton and Monty Veazy.

 

Previously, Deal had announced that T. Rogers Wade would head the transition committee. Pete Robinson, John Watson and Philip Wilheit serve as vice chairmen.
