WASHINGTON — Linda Chavez, one of the Administration’s most prominent women and Latinos, will resign her White House post Monday to run for the Republican Senate nomination from Maryland, officials said today.
Chavez, 38, a former Democrat who became a leading Reagan Administration spokeswoman against racial quotas, will be replaced as the President’s public liaison by a woman, the officials said. Chavez will seek the seat being vacated by Sen. Charles McC. Mathias Jr. (R-Md.), one of the dwindling band of liberal Republican senators, who is retiring after 18 years.
