Senate Rules and Administration Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar said the search for a new architect of the Capitol will start “immediately,” while urging patience, as the process to find a replacement can take a year or more.
The Minnesota Democrat will be part of a congressional panel tasked with making recommendations to the president to fill the now-vacant position after the White House on Monday removed J. Brett Blanton from the role.
“It’s going to take a while,” Klobuchar said Tuesday. “We have an acting AOC (interim Chere Rexroat) with a lot of experience. But it has to be a priority.”
