Former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk is being vetted by President-elect Barack Obama's transition team for a position within the administration, possibly secretary of transportation, education, Housing and Urban Development or some other Cabinet-level post.
"It's my understanding that he's being considered for either the Department of Transportation or HUD," Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Dallas, said as a group gathered Thursday night to celebrate her birthday. "I would rather see him get the transportation appointment."
Mr. Kirk confirmed Thursday that he was being vetted for a job with the Obama administration but declined to discuss specifics.
He has met several times with Mr. Obama's transition team, including on Tuesday and last weekend.
"It's true that I'm being vetted," Mr. Kirk said, adding that it would be an honor to work with Mr. Obama, though he was happy living in Dallas. |
