Two anonymous former FEMA senior officials say hiring Nim Kidd and relocating FEMA to Texas is possible.The Trump administration is considering moving FEMA headquarters to Texas and hire Nim Kidd, Chief of the Texas Department of Emergency Management, as their new leader, according to two anonymous former FEMA officials speaking with Politico.
Kidd has been considered for the role since February, with the Trump administration interviewing him for the position during that time. Kidd declined the position, saying publicly in a LinkedIn post that he was not ready to leave Texas.
“While there is some truth in the statement that I have had conversations with President Trump and his administration about the future of FEMA, I am committed to serving Texas first,” Kidd posted in February. “I am committed to working together to create the very best possible version of FEMA to support the American people. However, my work in Texas is not done.”
However, following Monday’s resignation of acting FEMA Chief David Richardson, an opening for the leadership position is now available.
