Ken Blackwell, the Ohio Republican selected by President-Elect Donald Trump to lead his domestic issues transition is an outspoken conservative with a history as a party maverick.
Blackwell, according to a document obtained by Politico, is in charge of the Trump "action team" examining the departments of energy, environmental protection, labor, transportation, health and human services, housing and urban development, interior and agriculture.
Blackwell backed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the Republican primaries, but came aboard with Trump after he secured the nomination.
Reached by The Cincinnati Enquirer, Blackwell said he could not discuss his duties because he had signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Blackwell is familiar to Ohioans. He prevailed in an intra-party feud in 2006 to become Ohio's first black nominee for governor, but then lost in a lopsided race with Democrat Ted Strickland.

I would assume he will be in the administration somewhere as well.
I remember Mr. Blackwell.
Hope I like him as much as I did in 06.
So far, so good.
Wait, I thought Trump was totally racist? How can this be?
Ping.
Super choice! Been following him for most of two decades. Ohio SecState when I parachuted into Cuyahoga County for the 72 hour GOTV crunch in 2004.
Excellent choice! Blackwell is a solid conservative.
Those leftists whose heads haven’t yet exploded will get a second chance.
Blackwell said he could not discuss his duties because he had signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Hahahaha. This is great. Trump is serious about controlling leaks.
Oh Gee! I was expecting that Krazy Kasich to be an integral part! Damn! /s
The left will “Uncle Tom” him....................
I’d like to go on record as being perfectly willing to accept a position with this administration. Enthusiastically so.
I filled out an application today, at the website “greatagain.gov”.
I have never applied for any government job ever. Ever. But I am 100% enthused and want to work for this government, and this president.
Wish me luck.
This is great news. Solid conservative.
Take that MSM. Deal with it.
Why am I feeling so good?

Ken is a good guy.
How long before Van Jones starts calling this guy “Ken Whitewell?” :-P
I get what you’re saying. I read about the EPA guy, now Ken Blackwell and I pause...and wait...for the other shoe to drop. But there is only silence.
Is this...winning?
Just like that poor black homeless lady who tried to protect Trump’s star.
That’s what the libs give minorities who get uppity and wander off the plantation.
