Eva Moskowitz, the CEO of New York City's largest and most controversial charter school network, is in the running to become president-elect Donald Trump's education secretary, a Trump aide confirmed Wednesday morning.

The news puts Moskowitz in the company of other education reform leaders like former D.C. public schools chief Michelle Rhee and Center for Education Reform director Jeanne Allen, among others.

A spokeswoman for Success declined to comment on whether Moskowitz was considering the position.

The very fact that Moskowitz isn't shooting down the rumors could have political implications for the longtime Democrat, who has long had ambitions of running for mayor of New York City.
