Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - Nearly three weeks after promising he would name an education secretary, Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin has finally put a name forward. Aimee Guidera is Youngkin's choice, and currently is President of Guidera Strategy.
Guidera is Youngkin's first cabinet appointee. The pace is behind previous administrations, both Republican and Democratic. Youngkin takes office January 15th.
Youngkin says, in a statement, "“Aimee will be a critical partner in restoring expectations of excellence; overseeing a record education budget to invest in teachers, facilities and special education; rolling out innovation lab and charter schools; and standing for a curriculum that prepares Virginia’s children for a dynamic future and removes politics from the classroom." Education was a huge part of Youngkin's platform.
