Congressman Fred Upton (R-MI) today announced two new staff hires for his St. Joseph-Benton Harbor district office as well as the appointment of a new District Director.
“I am thrilled to welcome two great additions to our team in the Twin Cities,” said Upton. “As a Member of Congress, there is no single greater responsibility – nor a more rewarding one – than providing assistance to those I am elected to represent. We have an all-star team assembled in southwest Michigan, with the additions of Clay McCausland and Megan Hicks. They will be joining my Senior Constituent Service Representative Janet Zielke, who for the past two decades has set the gold standard for constituent service and community outreach. I am also pleased to announce that Ed Sackley will be playing an expanded role in my office and throughout the District as my District Director.”
Megan Hicks – Constituent Service Representative
Hicks, a recent graduate of Western Michigan University and Paw Paw native, began her duties as Constituent Services Representative in the St. Joseph-Benton Harbor district office in December following work in health care financial services. Hicks served as an intern in Upton’s Kalamazoo district office while attending college.
Clay McCausland – District Representative
McCausland, a St. Joseph-Benton Harbor native, returns home to assume the duties of District Representative for the St. Joseph-Benton Harbor district office after serving as a federal law enforcement agent in California. McCausland, a graduate of The George Washington University, served as an intern in Upton’s Washington office while attending college.
Ed Sackley – District Director
Sackley, Upton’s District Representative in the Kalamazoo district office since 2002, has been named District Director. In his expanded role, Sackley will oversee operations throughout the Sixth Congressional District, encompassing both the Kalamazoo and St. Joseph-Benton Harbor district offices.
Upton operates full-time constituent service offices in both the Twin Cities and Kalamazoo. These offices provide vital assistance to all southwest Michigan residents in dealing with the federal government. Whether expediting a late Social Security benefit or presenting one of our nation’s brave veterans with overdue service medals, Upton’s district offices can help cut through the bureaucratic red tape.
