John,
I am so excited to share this piece of breaking news with you. President-elect Joe Biden will choose Pete Buttigieg to be his Secretary of Transportation!
Over the last several weeks, you've been hearing a lot about our Presidential Appointments Initiative and our four goals for the incoming Biden Administration. By chosing Pete, President-elect Biden is on-track to achieve one of our goals: nominating the first out LGBTQ person to a permanent position in a presidential Cabinet! When Pete's confirmed, he'll be the first out LGBTQ Cabinet secretary ever approved by the United States Senate.
John, we started this Initiative because we know LGBTQ voices belong at all levels of government. We are so proud to work closely with both President-elect Biden’s transition team and Pete's team to ensure that his voice will be heard. Let's capitalize on this amazing moment: help keep the momentum going by donating to our Presidential Appointments Initiative today!
We are incredibly excited to see Pete nominated and we know there's still so much work to be done. We must ensure that the Biden Administration undoes four years of homophobic and transphobic actions taken by previous administrations, and appoints qualified out people at all levels of government.
With Pete's nomination, we're one step closer to having a government that reflects all Americans. Help celebrate this moment and help us keep working towards equality with a generous donation today!
Thanks again for all your do,
Ruben J. Gonzales
