Presidential Appointments Primer
2021 NALEO Presidential Appointments Primer 2021 NALEO | PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS PRIMER America’s Latinos are strongly committed to public service at all levels of government, and possess a wealth of knowledge and skills to contribute as elected and appointed officials. The number of Latinos in our nation’s civic leadership has been steadily increasing as Latinos successfully pursue top positions in the public and private sectors. Throughout their tenure, and particularly during times of transition following elections, Presidential administrations seek to fill thousands of public service leadership and high-level support positions, and governing spots on advisory boards, commissions, and other bodies within the federal government. A strong Latino presence in the highest level appointments of President Joe Biden’s Administration is crucial to help ensure that the Administration develops policies and priorities that effectively address the issues facing the Latino community and all Americans. The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund is committed to ensuring that the Biden Administration appoints qualified Latinos to top government positions, including those in the Executive Office of the President, Cabinet-level agencies, sub-Cabinet, and the federal judiciary. This Primer provides information about the top positions available in the Biden Administration and how to secure them through the appointments process. 2021 NALEO | PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS PRIMER 2 2021 NALEO Presidential Appointments Primer TABLE OF CONTENTS BACKGROUND 4 AVAILABLE POSITIONS AND COMPENSATION 5 HOW TO APPLY 8 TYPICAL STEPS 10 In the Presidential Appointments Process NECESSARY CREDENTIALS 11 IS IT WORTH IT? 12 Challenges and Opportunities Of Presidential Appointments ADVOCACY & TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 13 For Latino Candidates & Nominees 2021 NALEO | PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS PRIMER 3 BACKGROUND During the 1970’s and 1980’s, there were very few Latinos considered for appointments in the federal government. -

See 16 U.S.C. §§ 1533(a)(1), (b)(1) & (b)(3)(B). On August 19, 2009, the Service published its 12-month finding that listing of the Ashy Storm-petrel was not warranted. See Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Notice of 12–Month Finding on a Petition to List the Ashy Storm-petrel as Threatened or Endangered, 74 Fed. Reg. 41832 (Aug. 19, 2009). The Service’s belief that listing is not warranted is largely based on the assumption that Ashy Storm-petrel populations are increasing. -

Washington, D.C. Update – September 2016
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY September 2016 This is an advertisement. Washington, D.C. Update Clinton and Trump: A Policy Comparison This month, we have a special edition of the Baker Donelson Washington Update focusing on what to expect from the 45th President of the United States. Of course we are all waiting on the November election to find out whether that will be Secretary Hillary Clinton or Mr. Donald Trump; in the meantime, we will examine a number of the candidates’ statements, proposals and announced transition teams to get a sense of what we can expect when a new president is sworn into office on January 20, 2017. Here is what is included in this month’s Washington Update: • Taxes – Clinton and Trump Propose Diametrically Opposed Tax Plans • Trade and Investment – A Rare Area of Agreement on TPP • The Economy – Two Differing Ways to Grow the Economy and Create Shared Prosperity • Energy and Environment – Opposites on Oil, Gas and Coal; Potential Overlap in Nuclear Power • Health Care – The Fight Over the ACA Continues • Presidential Transition Teams Regarding the potential for a long-term budget and appropriations deal or the future of defense spending, other than a commitment by Secretary Clinton to provide “budgetary certainty to facilitate reforms and enable long-term planning,” these issues have not been meaningfully addressed by either campaign. For additional information regarding the current budget decisions, please see the Washington, D.C. Fall Preview in which we examined the FY17 appropriations process and discussed the future of defense policy with former Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force retired General Carrol “Howie” Chandler. -

The Swinging Door”: U.S
ABSTRACT Title of Document: “THE SWINGING DOOR”: U.S. NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE MAKING OF THE MEXICAN GUESTWORKER, 1900 - 1935 Linda Carol Noel, Ph.D., History, 2006 Directed By: Professor Gary Gerstle Department of History This study examines U.S. national identity in the first third of the twentieth century. During this period, heated discussions ensued throughout the country regarding the extent to which the door of American society should be open to people of Mexican descent. Several major events brought this issue to the foreground: the proposed statehood of Arizona and New Mexico in the early twentieth century, the increase in Mexican immigration after World War I, and the repatriation of Mexican immigrants in the 1930s. The “Swinging Door” explores the competing perspectives regarding the inclusion or exclusion of people of Mexican descent embedded within each of these disputes. This dissertation argues that four strategies evolved for dealing with newcomers of Mexican descent: assimilation, pluralism, exclusion, and marginalization. Two strategies, assimilation and pluralism, permitted people of Mexican descent to belong to the nation so long as they either conformed to an Anglo American identity or proclaimed a Spanish American one rooted in a European heritage, whiteness, and a certain class standing. Exclusion denied entry into the U.S., or in the case of those already there, no role in society. Marginalization, which became the predominant strategy by the 1930s, allowed people of Mexican descent to remain physically within the country so long as they stayed only temporarily or agreed to accept a subordinate status as second-class Americans. The prevailing view changed depending on the economic and political power of people of Mexican descent, their desire to incorporate as Americans, and the demand for their labor or land by other Americans.
