Rick Perry brushes aside media reports of Homeland Security post

Energy Secretary Rick Perry, a former Texas governor, said Monday that he is not interested in leading the Department of Homeland Security.

Bloomberg News reported late Monday that Perry said, “I’m happy where I am and the president is happy where I am.” Perry made the remarks during a brief interview on Capitol Hill.

Perry was one of three possible replacements mentioned by the Washington Post after Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned abruptly Sunday.

Perry, who was born in Haskell, Texas and grew up in nearby Paint Creek, is a a veteran of the United States Air Force and the longest serving governor in Texas (2000-2015). He has been the secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy since March 2017.
