Secretary of Transportation

Status: Likely to be named

About Ray LaHood

Retiring Illinois Rep. Ray LaHood, a Republican and close friend of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, will be nominated secretary of transportation, congressional officials say.

Mr. LaHood does not currently serve on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, although he has in the past. The member of the House Appropriations Committee did not work on transportation funding. But Mr. LaHood is very close to Mr. Emanuel, and he won high praise from key Democratic lawmakers for his efforts to bridge the sometimes bitter partisan divide in Congress.

Mr. LaHood would be the second Republican nominated to serve in Mr. Obama's cabinet. The first is the current secretary of defense, Robert Gates.
