McMorris Rodgers eyed for Interior

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers reportedly is being considered as the next interior secretary by President-elect Donald Trump.

The New York Times reported Tuesday the Eastern Washington Republican, who just won her sixth term in Congress, is getting a “hard look” for the job of managing the nation’s public lands.

She’s not the only person in the running, according to various media reports. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin is also reportedly under consideration.

McMorris Rodgers was also listed Tuesday as one of 13 vice chairs of Trump’s transition team. Other members of that group include Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., who is Trump’s pick for U.S. attorney general, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich/Jim Camden, SR. More here.
