The White House on Thursday announced that former Boston mayor Martin J. Walsh’s nomination to the governing board of the United States Postal Service was being withdrawn from the Senate’s consideration, a statement said.
The statement did not give a reason for the withdrawal. It comes as the transition begins from President Joe Biden’s administration to President-Elect Donald Trump.
Walsh, 57, now the executive director of the National Hockey League Players’ Association, was elected mayor of Boston in 2013 and led the city for seven years before leaving to serve in President Biden’s cabinet as secretary of labor. He was a state representative and labor union leader before becoming mayor.
