WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Sen.-elect Claire McCaskill has chosen an aide to former Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., as her chief of staff, her office announced Tuesday.
Sean Kennedy, 36, spent nearly a decade as Gephardt's legislative director and counsel until 2004, when Kennedy became a lobbyist for SBC Communications, now part of AT&T.
Kennedy also served as deputy policy director for Gephardt's 2004 presidential campaign.
McCaskill, who defeated Republican Sen. Jim Talent this year, will be sworn in during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 4.
