Retiring Rep. Garret Graves of Louisiana is in talks with Donald Trump’s transition team about the possibility of him becoming secretary of transportation, according to two sources.
While there hasn’t been an official offer — and nothing is final until Trump says it — Graves is supposedly a contender to lead the Department of Transportation.
Graves, who is leaving Congress at the end of this year, is currently a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Before he ran for Congress, Graves served as a staffer for the Transportation committees in the House and Senate, among other congressional positions.
