Representative Ryan Zinke, who just won a second term representing Montana in the U.S. House, is being considered by President-elect Donald Trump for Secretary of the Interior, according to two people familiar with the transition team’s deliberations.

Zinke, 55, a retired Navy SEAL who was awarded two Bronze Stars for combat missions in Iraq, was an early supporter of Trump and met with the president-elect Monday at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
