Bill Richardson Nominated for Commerce Secretary, Timothy Geithner to Head Treasury

Atlanta, GA 11/21/2008 09:11 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)



Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico and former Democratic Party presidential candidate, will reportedly be nominated for Secretary of Commerce, according to reports Friday.

Prior to becoming a two-term Governor of New Mexico, Richardson served as Secretary of Energy and Ambassador to the United Nations under President Bill Clinton.

In a year that saw Barack Obama become the first African-American to be elected president, Richardson was the first Hispanic American presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.

Richardson joins Sen. Hillary Clinton on the list of former Democratic presidential candidates that President-elect Barack Obama has tapped since being elected President. Clinton reportedly accepted the offer of Secretary of State on Friday as well.
