Obama's Commerce chief announced
 |
US President Barack Obama has picked former Washington state Governor Gary Locke to be his Commerce Secretary.
This is the third time Mr Obama has picked a Commerce Secretary, after his previous two appointees both removed themselves from consideration.
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson withdrew to fight an ethics probe, while Republican Senator Judd Gregg withdrew after political disagreements.
Mr Locke will be the third Asian-American in the new Cabinet.
