According to reports, President-elect Donald Trump will tap Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers to serve as United States Secretary of the Interior.

McMorris Rodgers currently represents Washington's 5th Congressional district. Before serving in the U.S. congress, McMorris Rodgers was a member of the Washington House of Representatives, serving as minority leader.

McMorris Rodgers is currently the highest ranking Republican woman in congress.

The one bright side is that it gets another Cheap Labor Express Republican out of Congress.

[Mercat]

But wait. Isn’t the governor of Washington a dem? So her replacement is going to be a dem?

[Buckeye McFrog]

I guess Todd Palin is still in too rough a shape
from the accident.

No governor pick. Special election for congress.

[AU72]

Governors can’t appoint reps, only Senators.

[WENDLE]

we just keep winning and winning.

[hotsteppa]

Another excellent pick by Trump. Drill baby drill.

McMorris Rodgers is currently the highest ranking Republican woman in congress.

 

I wonder why she would take a cabinet slot. Seems like a step down. Perhaps this just adds to her resume.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Is the WA Legislature run by Dems?
Perhaps she thinks they’ll redistrict her out.

[WENDLE]

I hope she opens up our wilderness areas so we can actually use our lands for recreation.

You think running a large federal bureaucracy and sitting at the big table with the President and his Cabinet to MAGA is a step down from being one out of 435? “Highest Ranking” is a nothingburger.

[Political Junkie Too]

Interesting. Many thought Sarah Palin would be good for this spot.

In a Blue State like Washington, advancement prospects are limited if you’re a Republican.

She’ll never win a Senate seat there.

[Red Badger]

You’re thinking Senator.
A vacancy in the House calls for a special election........

[Buckeye McFrog]

She’ll never win a Senate seat there.

Unless she can find a way to hide enough ballots in the trunks of old Buicks.

[goldstategop]

GOP will keep her seat; its a GOP district.

[ari-freedom]

Drill baby drill!

[WENDLE]

Sarah went rogue after the Carrier deal. It looked to me like she was pissed over something else. Who cares about saving bs? we all do.

“But wait. Isn’t the governor of Washington a dem? So her replacement is going to be a dem?”

one would expect that, UNLESS Washington law is such that the outgoing Rep’s Party “Steering” Committee gets to make the appointment, which is the case in some states.
