Chris Wright Is on a Mission to Improve Lives

As President-elect Trump assembles his cabinet and senior staff, there are familiar names that Americans have come to know over the years. Names like Elon Musk, Robert F.

And then there is Chris Wright, perhaps the least recognizable name on the President’s team and the nominee for the Secretary of Energy.
