CONNECTICUT, USA — The Connecticut Commissioner of Education Miguel Cardona could be heading to Washington soon.
The Washington Post has reported Meriden's Cardona and Howard University's Leslie T. Fenwick are President-elect's Joe Biden top candidates for Education secretary.
Cardona was nominated for his current state position in August 2019 by Governor Ned Lamont and officially appointed in February. He worked before as an educator for the city of Meriden. He is also a lifelong Meriden resident.
FOX61 has reached out for comment from Cardona but has not heard back yet.
Governor Ned Lamont spoke about the report during one of his COVID-19 update press conference, praising Cardona for his work and service to Connecticut. Lamont added he left a message with Biden's camp about the news.
