(AP) -- South Carolina Gov.-elect Nikki Haley has chosen an adviser to Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to run the Health and Human Services Department in her fifth Cabinet announcement.
Haley said Tuesday that Anthony Keck is her choice to lead the agency responsible for administering federal health care programs for the poor and the elderly.
In the past month, Haley has named her picks to lead the state departments of commerce, labor, juvenile justice and corrections.
They are among 15 Cabinet agencies overseen by the governor. The governor-elect will be sworn in next week.
Last month, Revenue Department director Ray Stevens said he is resigning to take a job at a law firm. His replacement has yet to be announced.
All of Haley's Cabinet nominees must be confirmed by the state Senate.
