US president-elect Barack Obama on Saturday tapped Shaun Donovan for secretary of housing and urban development, taking another step in the formation of his future cabinet.
Donovan, currently the New York City Commissioner of Housing Preservation and Development, is an architect who previously served in the Housing Department under former president Bill Clinton.
He "will bring to this important post fresh thinking, unencumbered by old ideology and outdated ideas," Obama said in his weekly radio address.
