MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Outgoing Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle met with President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
Doyle's office announced the meeting but very few other details. A press release said the governor was meeting privately with the president and others to discuss ongoing joint efforts between the state and federal government.
Doyle was an early supporter of Obama during his run for president in 2008. He campaigned for Obama across the country and was rumored to be in line for an appointment after Obama won.
But Doyle stayed to complete his second term. He decided against seeking a third term.
Doyle also has meetings scheduled with three members of Obama's cabinet. Those are with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
