House Speaker Johnnie Byrd said Monday he's chosen two of Gov. Jeb Bush's former campaign aides to help him in his bid to win the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate.

Karen Unger, who managed Bush's 2002 re-election effort, and Todd Harris, the campaign's spokesman, will advise Byrd on strategy and the media while also helping structure the campaign organization.

"Karen and Todd were a critical part of the team that re-elected Jeb Bush and I am confident that with their help, this campaign will be just as successful," Byrd said in a prepared statement.

"Johnnie Byrd is a commonsense conservative who will best represent the people of Florida in the U.S. Senate," Unger said.

The seat held by U.S. Sen. Bob Graham of Miami Lakes is before voters in 2004. Graham is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, although he has not ruled out trying for a fourth Senate term if that effort fails. ---
