Wyoming man could be US Navy secretary nominee
A Wyoming man could be the next U.S. Navy secretary.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated Richard Spencer, of Wilson, for the job.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports Spencer is 63 and served on the Pentagon’s Defense Business Board from 2009 to 2015. He previously was an adviser to the chief of naval operations.
He was a pilot in the U.S. Marines from 1976 to 1981.
Spencer and his wife have lived south of Wilson full-time since 2009. He says the way he sees the Navy’s mission seems to fit what the president believes.
