SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah's newest U.S. senator has picked a prominent state lobbyist to serve as his chief of staff.

Republican Sen.-elect Mike Lee asked Spencer Stokes this past week to lead his Washington staff and coordinate his transition from candidate to senator.

"He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Utah politics," Lee said of Stokes. "He has a good strategic mind and I like him."
