McCaskill Hires Veteran Gephardt Policy Director As Chief of Staff
Washington, D.C. - Senator-elect Claire McCaskill today announced the appointment of Sean Kennedy as her Chief of Staff. Kennedy, 36, joins the McCaskill office after a two-year stint at the government relations office of SBC Communications (now AT&T). Prior to that, Kennedy worked as Legislative Director/Counsel to House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt.
Kennedy is a graduate of Emory University, and received his Juris Doctor from
Catholic University.
McCaskill also hired several staff members from the campaign to work in Washington. Senior staff members moving to the Senate office in Washington include Deputy Campaign Manager Tod Martin of St. Louis, Missouri, who will serve as the Deputy Chief of Staff, as well as Communications Director Adrianne Marsh and Scheduler Angela Elsbury of Madison, Missouri.
Sean and Tod will be as strong a one-two punch as there is on the Hill.

Anyone who has seen Angela Elsbury in action on either the campaign or the professional side knows that she is one of a kind and amply deserving of this opportunity. Good for her... and good for Claire.
