Sadie Hanson, a Grand Forks native who has served as Staff Assistant in the D.C. office since January, is returning to North Dakota to become the Community Relations Representative based in Fargo. Replacing her in Washington is Zoe McKinven of Harvey, a recent North Dakota State University graduate who interned in the D.C. office this summer.\n\nIn her new role, Hanson will serve as Fedorchak\u2019s frontline presence across eastern North Dakota\u2014including Fargo, Grand Forks, and communities throughout the Red River Valley. She will help identify local priorities, inform policy decisions, and assist constituents in navigating federal agencies and services.\n\n\u201cSadie has been an essential part of our team from day one\u2014helping set up the office, build out systems, and keep things running smoothly from the start,\u201d Fedorchak said. \u201cShe\u2019s led our internship program, launched the Notable North Dakotan recognition, and brought a heart for service to everything she\u2019s done. The work she'll do across the Red River Valley will help inform the decisions I make in Washington and ensure that local voices continue to shape national policy.\u201d\n\n\u201cAs someone deeply rooted in eastern North Dakota, it feels natural to return home and serve the people of the Red River Valley,\u201d Hanson said. \u201cAfter working in our D.C. office, I\u2019m excited to bring that experience back to North Dakota. I\u2019m looking forward to hitting the road, reconnecting with familiar faces, maintaining strong relationships, and building new ones along the way.\u201d\n\nIn Washington, McKinven will support daily operations, manage front office communications, and help welcome North Dakotans visiting the Capitol.\n\n\u201cZoe represents the best of North Dakota\u2019s next generation of leaders, and I\u2019m excited to have her join the team full-time,\u201d Fedorchak said. \u201cShe\u2019s proven her commitment to public service and brings energy, perspective, and small-town values to our D.C. office.\u201d\n\n\u201cGrowing up in a small town like Harvey taught me the value of hard work, community, and doing your part\u2014and I\u2019m proud to bring those values to Team Fedorchak,\u201d McKinven said. \u201cSpending the summer in Washington has been incredibly rewarding, and I\u2019m beyond grateful for the opportunity to step into this new role and help serve North Dakotans from our nation\u2019s capital.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:57:50Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fedorchak.house.gov/media/press-releases/fedorchak-announces-staff-changes-dc-and-north-dakota"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.100332010537386, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
