Multiple news agencies are reporting that local Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers will be President-Elect Donald Trump’s pick for Interior Secretary. That would leave the congressional seat open setting up an election next year to replace the Republican from Colville. Already Spokane City Council President Democrat Ben Stuckart has announced he will run. Spokane County Sheriff Republican Ozzie Knezovich has announced his candidacy for the post as well. No word yet when a special election would be held to fill the vacant seat in the US House. The presumed appointment of McMorris Rodgers as Interior Secretary still needs approval from Congress.
