Jeff Sessions hires new staff in effort to end global hunger and wish for world peace. Now comes word that Scarlotte Deupree, Miss Alabama 2002 and the first runner-up for Miss America 2003, has taken a job in the Senate Periodical Press Gallery.It’s not Deupree’s first stint on the Hill. During the winter of 2000, she served as an intern to Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) — alongside another Miss Alabama contestant named Scarlet, no less.And when she came oh-so-close to the Miss America crown for 2003, Sessions even paid tribute to her on the Senate floor for her “numerous and exceptional” accomplishments and her work on behalf of adult literacy awareness. He said that while said she toiled in his office she “produced excellent work, received high marks from my staff and contributed greatly.”
