Inslee for Interior secretary?

Posted by Richard Wagoner


Politico, the online newspaper about politics, lists U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, as a possible secretary of the Interior should Barack Obama win the presidency. Also named as a candidate for that post is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Politico fills out the entire cabinet and White House leadership team in an Obama administration with names "being widely discussed in Democratic circles." You can read the story here.

Inslee is a champion of environmental causes in Congress, particularly in efforts to fight global warming and promote alternative energy sources.
