Freshman Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) is Obama's choice for secretary of Interior in the Obama administration.
Salazar was elected to the Senate in 2004, the same year as Barack Obama. Prior to that, he served in the House. A farmer who hails from a long-line of farmers and ranchers, Salazar is also an attorney. He practiced water and environmental law in the private sector for 11 years.
Salazar will have his hands full. In September 2008, we learned about Sex, Oil and a Culture of Privilege, a scandal involving the Minerals Management Service's royalty collection office.
