McCaul has hired Dell's federal government affairs manager as his chief of staff. Chris Alsup makes his return to the Hill after working for Dell for four years and registering to lobby on issues such as responsible electronics recycling, tax policy and federal funding for IT products.

The new chief of staff has a bachelor's in political science and government from the University of Texas at Austin. His wife, Julie Leake Alsup, also has experience on the Hill as a scheduler for Carter between 2003 and 2004. She works as a lobbyist for the International Paper Co.
