Idaho 1st District GOP Rep. Raul Labrador met with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower in New York today, and hinted afterward to reporters there that they’d discussed a role for him in the new Trump Administration.

“We talked about a lot of issues … about the West and how we could make sure that the Western issues are listened to,” Labrador said, calling it a “great, great meeting.” According to press pool reports, Labrador was asked if the two talked about a job in the administration. “We talked about a lot of different things,” Labrador responded. “I want to be able to help this administration in any way I can. I’m excited for America that we’re going to have an opportunity to have a new administration that has hit the ground running, and I think there’s a lot of ways that I can help. If I can help in the administration or if I can help him in Congress, I’m very excited about it”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here.
