RICHMOND, Va. (AP)- Republican Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin has announced his pick for Virginia’s next secretary of health and human resources, a role that will involve helping oversee pandemic-related public policy.
The Youngkin transition announced Monday that John Littel has been tapped for the role.
Littel recently served as the president of Magellan of Virginia, which administers behavioral health services for Virginia Medicaid enrollees. He’s also worked in federal and state government, including as Virginia’s deputy secretary of health and human resources.
Youngkin’s cabinet picks are subject to legislative approval.
Youngkin will be inaugurated today at noon in Virginia’s capitol as the 74th Governor. He will be replacing Eastern Shore native Governor Ralph Northam.
