Biden to name former Michigan governor to lead Energy Department: Sources
ABCNews President-Elect Joe Biden is expected to name former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to head the Department of Energy, sources familiar with the decision confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday.
Granholm, 61, a former two-term governor and Michigan s first female chief executive, was first elected to lead the Wolverine State in 2002, after serving as the state s attorney general from 1999 to 2003. If confirmed by the Senate, Granholm would be just the second woman to lead the Energy Department and would be the ninth woman Biden has nominated so far to serve in his Cabinet.
