Congresswoman Terri Sewell of Alabama’s 7th District has announced that she will be bringing Chelsy Lyons, a vice president for the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), as her guest to President Trump’s address to Congress. Sewell expressed her support for federal employees in her district and her disappointment in the administration’s treatment of them. Lyons, who has been with AFGE for over 17 years, is honored to join Sewell and looks up to her as a leader in Alabama.
Lyons began her federal career with the Social Security Administration in 2008 and joined AFGE on her first day of orientation. Sewell praised Lyons for her dedication to fighting for fair treatment of federal workers. AFGE represents 800,000 federal employees, with a strong presence in agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Social Security Administration.
Alabama is home to around 41,000 federal employees, with nearly 10,000 in Sewell’s district. The partnership between Sewell and Lyons highlights the importance of standing up for federal workers in the face of challenges from the administration. The two leaders are committed to ensuring that federal employees are treated fairly and with dignity. Their presence at the President’s address serves as a symbol of support for the crucial work done by federal workers in Alabama and across the country.
