Hoyle Rumored As Possible Secretary in Perdue Administration
Add N.C. Sen. David Hoyle, a Gaston County Democrat, to the list of possible commerce secretaries under Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue.
Hoyle, long known as a business advocate, said he has not talked with Perdue about the job and isn’t campaigning for it. He was asked about his interest in the post, though, by friends of Perdue, he said.
“I didn’t say ‘yes,’” Hoyle said, “and I didn’t say ‘no.’”
Much like the possible appointment of Congressman Jack Spratt to the Obama administration, the Republicans will be very happy over Hoyle leaving his Senate seat to serve under Bev Perdue. Hoyle’s seat is heavily Republican and will almost definitely go to the GOP once Hoyle vacates.
