MANDAN, N.D. (AP) _ U.S. Sen.-elect Heidi Heitkamp is naming her

chief of staff.

Heitkamp announced Saturday that Tessa Gould will be the chief

advisor for the new senator.

Gould managed Heitkamp's successful campaign to win the senate

seat. Before that, Gould served as associate development director

for the University of South Dakota Foundation.

Gould was chief of staff to former Rep. Stephanie Herseth

Sandlin in South Dakota. She has also worked with Congressman Earl

Pomeroy and Senator Byron L. Dorgan, both from North Dakota, and

House Leader Dick Gephardt from Missouri.

Gould says in a news release that she is humbled and honored to

be asked to go to Washington to work for Heitkamp.
