Today an announcement was made by the Obama administration that their third (and hopefully final) choice for commerce secretary is the popular former governor of Washington State, Gary Locke. While in office, Locke was recognized as a moderate who was never known for being particularly partisan. Locke's nomination marks the third Washingtonian to garner a major cabinet position in the Obama administration. King County Executive Ron Sims was nominated to the post of Deputy Secretary of HUD earlier this month, while Seattle police chief Gil Kerlikowske was tapped to become the federal 'drug czar.'
So does this mean that Washington is an up and coming state? Watch out, California!
