John McCain, R-Ariz., is backing president-elect Barack Obama’s apparent pick of Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano as secretary of homeland security. “Gov. Napolitano’s experience as the former U.S. attorney for Arizona, Arizona’s attorney general and as governor warrants her rapid confirmation by the Senate, and I hope she is quickly confirmed,” McCain said in a statement Thursday. If Napolitano takes the federal position, Arizona Secretary of State Jan Brewer will become governor.
