Crapo Continues to Meet with Trump Cabinet Nominees

Washington, D.C.--U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) wrapped another round of meetings with President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees.

"With President Trump's second term just a few short days away, it's imperative the Senate move expeditiously on his nominees to have a full Cabinet in place as quickly as possible," said Crapo. "I have had many valuable conversations with his nominees, and they each have clear, strong goals to fulfill an ambitious conservative agenda and deliver on promises made to the American people. We have exciting work ahead of us in this next age of federal leadership."

  • Linda McMahon, nominee for Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education;
  • Tulsi Gabbard, nominee for Director of National Intelligence; and
  • Lori Chavez-DeRemer, nominee for Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor.
