Rep. John Salazar, a Mannassa potato farmer who last month won election to a third term representing Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, confirmed Wednesday morning he "may" be under consideration to head the Department of Agriculture in an Obama administration, The Denver Post reports. His name is among those pushed by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) in a letter sent Tuesday to President-elect Barack Obama's transition team in a bid to secure spots in an administration Hispanic leaders feel owes its existence, at least in part, to overwhelming support from Hispanic voters.
