John,

Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States, and he has the right to choose his Cabinet.

Unfortunately, despite the experienced and eminently qualified nominees he’s rolled out so far, Republican senators are already signaling a return to their Obama-era agenda: obstruction, obstruction, obstruction.

Each of the president-elect’s nominees will likely face an uphill confirmation battle. With this in mind, Voto Latino has put together a survey on potential Republican obstruction.

Will you fill out Voto Latino’s GOP Senate Obstruction Survey?

As someone who’s experienced the Cabinet confirmation process firsthand, I can tell you it’s grueling -- even more so when senators from the opposing party refuse to give your nomination a fair hearing in the Senate.

Back in 2016, many of the same GOP senators trying to obstruct President-elect Biden’s nominees said publicly (on multiple occasions) that a newly elected president reserves the right to choose a qualified Cabinet. I agree.

If you agree as well, please take a moment to fill out Voto Latino’s survey.

Thank you,
Julián Castro,
16th Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
