President Trump on Monday tapped former New Mexico Rep. Heather Wilson to serve as secretary of the Air Force.
After two unsuccessful Senate bids, Wilson became president of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in 2013. She will leave that post to join the new administration if confirmed by the upper chamber.
Wilson chaired the House Subcommittee on Technical and Tactical Intelligence during her time in Washington, in additon to serving on both the House Armed Services and Energy and Commerce committees.
The Trump administration said Wilson will make "an outstanding secretary of the Air Force."
