    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.

    2014 ELECTIONS IN CALIFORNIA July 2014 Current Congressional District Map 2014 Projections: 12 R, 33 D, 8 ? California’s independent redistricting process shook up the delegation for the 2012 election, leading to several 1 retirements and intra-party district fights. By 2014, however, 2 the state should largely revert to its more static norm. 6 Incumbents are heavily favored in 44 districts and have an 11 3 edge in most others. More than half of its districts are 13 5 7 4 permanently safe for their incumbents’ party, with 12 9 14 15 10 partisanships of at least 58% in favor of the incumbent. 17 18 19 16 One wildcard is California’s “top-two” system, which 20 6 22 25 27 sometimes results in general elections contested by two 21 8 31 candidates of the same party. 23 41 24 42 Date 2014 Projections Announced: April 2013. 26 2012 Projections: 13 R, 33 D, 7 ?.

SALZMAN Attorneys Department of Justice Washington, D.C. 20530-0001 [email protected] (202) 514-2217 QUESTION PRESENTED Under federal law, health insurers and employer- sponsored group health plans generally must cover certain preventive health services, including contra- ceptive services prescribed for women by their doc- tors. Respondents object to providing contraceptive coverage on religious grounds and are eligible for a regulatory accommodation that would allow them to opt out of the contraceptive-coverage requirement. The court of appeals held, however, that the accom- modation itself violates the Religious Freedom Resto- ration Act of 1993 (RFRA), 42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq., by requiring third parties to provide respondents’ employees and their beneficiaries with separate con- traceptive coverage after respondents opt out. The question presented is: Whether RFRA entitles respondents not only to opt out of providing contraceptive coverage them- selves, but also to prevent the government from ar- ranging for third parties to provide separate coverage to the affected women.
