LaHood Won’t Stay for Second Obama Term |
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has announced that he will not remain in that post if President Obama is re-elected to a second term.
LaHood told the Chicago Tribune that he will not run for public office again, saying he anticipates “wonderful opportunities” in the private sector after he leaves government. He spent 14 years as a Republican member of the House representing Peoria, IL, and is the sole Republican in the president’s cabinet.
“I serve at the pleasure of the president, and it is an honor to look out for the safety of the American public when it comes to planes, trains, automobiles, and more,” LaHood said in a statement. “Throughout this term, we have also focused our efforts on creating jobs as we rebuild our roads, rails, and runways, and I look forward to working with Congress to pass the American Jobs Act so we can put Americans back to work.” |
