McMorris Rodgers comes up short

The job of Interior secretary in the Trump Administration was reportedly offered Tuesday to a Republican member of Congress from the Northwest. But not Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers.

Ryan Zinke, Montana’s sole member of the House of Representatives, was offered the job, several news outlets reported, citing unnamed sources.

There was no official confirmation from the Trump transition team, which Tuesday announced Exxon Chief Executive Officer Rex Tillerson as the pick for Secretary of State and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry as the president-elect’s choice for Energy secretary.

But McMorris Rodgers seemed to concede that she was not expecting to be nominated to the Interior job with a post on her Facebook page, saying, it was “an honor to spend time with the president-elect and I’m energized more than ever to continue leading in Congress” – something she’d give up if she became a member of the Trump cabinet/ Jim Camden , SR.
