All candidates for Governor Glen Yangkin’s cabinet have received final legislative approval, with the exception of Andrew Wheeler.
Richmond, Virginia (AP) – All candidates for Governor Glen Yangkin’s cabinet have received final legislative approval, with the exception of Andrew Wheeler.
Wheeler is a former administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, whose appointment has so far been blocked by Democrats.
Without debate, the Republican-controlled House of Delegates on Wednesday passed a resolution confirming Yangkin’s other candidates.
Wheeler was removed from the list before the move was passed by Democrat-controlled Senate in February.
However, the vote is not necessarily the end of a struggle that has escalated into a guerrilla dispute over other appointments subject to legislative approval.
