Senate GOP wants Ludeman as secretary
Republican majority leaders announced today their nomination of Cal Ludeman to become the 22nd secretary of the Minnesota Senate.
Ludeman is currently commissioner of the state Department of Human Services under outgoing Gov. Tim Pawlenty. As secretary of the Senate, he would oversee the production and communication of all legislative information and administrative services.
"Cal's personality and work history define a great public servant," said Senate President-designee Michelle Fischbach, R-Paynesville, in a news release. "His experience and institutional knowledge are critical to leading this important post."
Ludeman also served as commissioner of the Department of Employee Relations under Pawlenty, and he was elected three times to the Minnesota House.
The Senate will vote on the nomination Jan. 4.
