    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.

Jails for the March 2020 ballot Los Angeles, CA - August 27, 2019 - Just two weeks after their historic victory against L.A.

Jails has announced the endorsement of California State Senator and Senate Budget Committee Chair Holly Mitchell for their March 2020 ballot measure. The ballot measure will give the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Civilian Oversight Commission subpoena power to help fight deputy misconduct and corruption as well as force the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to first produce a study that looks at reducing the jail populations and redirecting the cost savings to alternatives to incarceration to reduce recidivism, prevent crime, and permanently lessen the population of people cycling into and out of jail that are experiencing mental health, drug dependency, or chronic homelessness issues before spending over $3.5 billion on building new jails. "We know that jails alone are not the answer,” said Senator Mitchell who represents a large swath of L.A. County including Culver City, Ladera Heights, and a large part of South L.A. "If we are serious about rehabilitation, prevention and improving our communities, then we must invest in local organizations and evidenced based practices that are effective.
