The Associated Press is reporting that a White House source says Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is President Obama’s choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The New York Times reports that Sebelius will be introduced by Obama on Monday.
According to AP, “Sebelius drew praise for the consumer watchdog role she played as Kansas insurance commissioner for eight years before she became governor.” Sebelius, an early Obama supporter, is in her second term as governor and cannot seek a third term.
