Washington • Rep.-elect Ben McAdams has hired his former deputy mayor Nichole Adams as his new chief of staff as he prepares to join Congress.
McAdams, who is resigning his post as Salt Lake County mayor, announced Monday he picked Dunn, a longtime trusted aide, to lead his new congressional office. She previously served as McAdams' deputy and the country’s chief administrative officer from 2013 through 2015 and had also worked as then-Mayor Peter Corroon’s top aide from 2009 through 2013.
“Nichole is the finest example I know of a public servant who contributes to her community with tireless enthusiasm and a deep commitment to working across the political aisle to solve problems and achieve progress,” McAdams said in a statement.
