As expected President Obama today named Senator Judd Gregg to be Secretary of Commerce, and New Hampshire Governor John Lynch immediately named former Chief of Staff to Gregg Bonnie Newman, a Republican, to fill the vacated Senate seat. Newman, in addition to her stint with Gregg, worked for the White House of President George H.W. Bush, as well as an assistant Secretary of Commerce under President Ronald Reagan. Newman endorsed Governor Lynch in his 2004 race against the Republican nominee, heading up the “Republicans for Lynch”.
