LOS ALAMITOS — Former Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as deputy secretary of Homeland Security today.
“Troy served for me previously as the Chief Financial Officer and Associate Deputy Under Secretary of Management for Homeland Security, where he did an outstanding job managing their $90 Billion Dollar budget, resourcing critical immigration policy, and funding Wall construction,” Trump announced in a statement.
“Troy is currently an executive at IBM. He holds an M.B.A. and B.S. of Business Administration from the University of Southern California. He was previously the Mayor of Los Alamitos, California, where he helped me lead the City and County revolt against Sanctuary Cities in 2018,” the president-elect added. “I am very excited to have Troy on our team, as he will help us Make America Great Again!”
A Navy veteran, Edgar was the founder and CEO of Global Conductor, a privately held management consulting firm. He has also been a top executive at Boeing, serving as chief financial officer of the company’s military aircraft logistics division, and at Price Waterhouse, where he worked in corporate restructuring.
He spent 12 years on the Los Alamitos City Council beginning in 2006, serving as mayor three times, including during his final term. He’s a frequent commentator on TV, radio and in newspapers and delivers lectures at universities and professional organizations.
Last month, Trump nominated South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to be his next secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Her nomination requires Senate confirmation.
