The Ohio Republican selected by president-elect Donald Trump to lead his domestic transition is an outspoken conservative with a history as a party maverick.

Ken Blackwell prevailed in an intra-party feud in 2006 to become Ohio's first black nominee for governor, but then lost in a lopsided race with Democrat Ted Strickland.

He also took on fellow Republicans in the state Legislature while serving as secretary of state from 1999 to 2007. He also was state treasurer from 1994 to 1999.

As chief elections officer, Blackwell played a pivotal role in administering the hotly-contested 2004 presidential election while serving as Republican George W. Bush's honorary campaign co-chair. Democrats alleged in political attacks and lawsuits that Blackwell supported vote-suppressing policies favoring Bush, who won the state and the election.

Blackwell, a former Cincinnati mayor, is on the boards of the National Rifle Association and Club for Growth. He's also a senior fellow at the Family Research Council.

He also formerly served as an undersecretary at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
