Sweet: Penny Pritzker races to finish up before Obama is out

WASHINGTON — Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker is a runner. And she knows the weeks are racing by to the end of President Barack Obama’s second term.

“I would say, in general, that we are not slowing down,” she said in an interview. “I have a sign in my office that says, ‘Run through the tape.’ And that’s what we are doing.”

We spoke on Thursday after Pritzker came home to give a speech to the Economic Club of Chicago.

The day before, Pritzker was in the Silicon Valley with Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to talk about threats to cybersecurity at a conference at Intel Corp.’s Santa Clara, Calif., campus.

On Monday, Pritzker will be on a panel here with James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, to talk more about cybersecurity and digital challenges.

Cybersecurity wasn’t a specialty of the billionaire Chicago business executive when she was sworn in as commerce secretary on June 26, 2013. For the full article click here
