  • 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.

Washington, DC 20240 Phone: (202) 208-3100 [email protected] Mr. Rowan Gould, Acting Director U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1849 C Street, NW, Mail Stop 3012 Washington, D.C. 20240 Phone: (202) 208-4717 Fax: (202) 208-6965 [email protected] RE: 60-Day Notice of Intent to Sue: Violations of the Endangered Species Act; Actions Relating to August 19, 2009 Ruling on Petition to List the Ashy Storm-petrel (Oceanodroma homochroa) as Threatened or Endangered Dear Mr. Salazar and Mr. Gould: This letter serves as a 60-day notice on behalf of the Center for Biological Diversity (“the Center”) of intent to sue the Department of Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (collectively “the Service”) over violations of Section 4 of the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) (16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq.) for the Service’s failure to propose listing of the Ashy Storm-petrel (Oceanodroma homochroa) as threatened or endangered under the ESA. 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.

  • In the US House and Senate, 1822–2012
    H APPENDIX C H Hispanic-American Members’ Committee Assignments (Standing, Joint, Select) in the U.S. House and Senate, 1822–2012 This appendix lists alphabetically all the congressional committees on which Hispanic-American Members served. Several features will help readers track Hispanic membership on committees over time: • In instances where a committee’s name (rather than its primary jurisdictional duties) has changed, a “See also” note refers researchers to prior or latter committee name iterations. These name iterations are listed in chronological order. • In instances where a committee on which a Hispanic Member served was disbanded and its jurisdiction subsumed by another committee, a “Jurisdiction reassigned” note is provided. Not all reassigned jurisdictions are listed. Researchers are referred only to the committees with expanded jurisdictions on which Hispanic Members later served. • In instances where a committee was disbanded and no jurisdictional transfer occurred, only the Congress and date ranges of the committee are provided. • Members’ terms of service on committees reflect the years they served on the committees; the Congress range is provided in a separate column. Because this appendix accounts for Members joining or leaving committees because of deaths, resignations, and special elections, in some instances service dates are not coterminous with Congress dates. • Delegates from the New Mexico and Florida Territories did not receive committee assignments until the 1880s. • The closing date for this volume was September 1, 2012.
