Assistant Secretary Hager To Resign

John H. Hager, Assistant Secretary for Special Education at the U.S. Department of Education (ED), was elected over the weekend as the new party chairman for the Virginia Republican State Central Committee. Hager, who will have to resign his post at ED, replaces Ed Gillespie, who resigned last month to work as a White House adviser. At this point, ED has not named Hager’s replacement.
