WASHINGTON _ Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-California, said he is under consideration to be secretary of State by President-elect Donald Trump and he wants your support.
Rohrabacher informed his supporters through an email, and suggested that if they want to see him in the job, they vote in an online poll conducted by Breitbart.com, whose executive Stephen K. Bannon will work as a strategist in Trump's White House.
"While my present intention, of course, is to continue to fight for liberty and freedom as a member of the House of Representatives," his email stated, "as a strong supporter of President-Elect Trump's vision for America, it would be a privilege and an honor to serve as his Secretary of State."
Rohrabacher, who represents California's 48th District, currently serves as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats.
He has also, like Trump, occasionally defended Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying in a 2015 subcommittee hearing "I don't think there's anything wrong with a country being led by a ruler who wants their country to be a great country."
But Rohrabacher, who worked as a speechwriter in the Ronald Reagan administration, has also criticized Trump in the past, saying the then-candidate "has turned me off... with his bullying of other people."
