Hughes heads home
Another Texan is headed home. Longtime Bush adviser and aide Karen Hughes will announce this morning that she is quitting as undersecretary of state, effective at year’s end, according to aide Rena Pederson.
Pederson said Hughes, after two and a half years on the job, “feels it’s time to go home” to Austin.
Hughes is in charge of public diplomacy, an effort to improve the U.S. image around the world.
The official announcement is expected this morning in Washington. Hughes told The Associated Press earlier today that improving the world’s view of the United States is a “long-term challenge” that will outlast her.
