Senator Jack Reed Not Interested in Secretary of Defense Position

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel may be stepping down but don’t look for U.S. Sen. Jack Reed to be replacing him.

Reed’s spokesman Chip Unruh said Monday that Rhode Island’s senior senator is happy with the job he has.

“Senator Reed loves his job and wants to continue serving the people of Rhode Island in the United States senate,” said Unruh. “He has made it very clear that he does not wish to be considered for secretary of defense or any other Cabinet position. He just asked the people of Rhode Island to hire him for another six-year term and plans to honor that commitment.”
