13 Democratic lawmakers demanding that no corporate lobbyists or executives be confirmed to cabinet
House progressives and liberal groups Friday called for corporate lobbyists and executives to be shut out from a Biden Administration, drawing a clear line on what they expect if Democrats win the election.
Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., led a group of 13 Democratic lawmakers in penning a letter to demand that no corporate lobbyists or executives be confirmed to the cabinet.
“One of the most important lessons of the Trump administration is the need to stop putting corporate officers and lobbyists in charge of our government,” the lawmakers wrote.
Grijalva was joined by freshman powerhouses Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Katie Porter of California.
hey addressed the letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., since the Senate has the power to confirm a president's nominees. The lawmakers didn't single out former Vice President Joe Biden directly but called for the Senate to deny corporate interests from holding government power "in this or any future administration."
Politico was the first to report on the letter, which was also endorsed by a bevy of progressive and environmental groups, including Indivisible, Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, Greenpeace USA, Sunrise Movement and Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

AOC, House progressives call for ban on corporate executives in a Biden cabinet
—
Joe will easily acquiesce, since most will be of his cabinet will also be members of the CCP, with AOC getting Sec. of Interior seat.
I bet AOC would be willing to compromise: “No straight white corporate executives,” but others ok after extensive political vetting.
Unforeseen train wreck
These idiots don’t know what the hell they are talking about. These business people know about the real world in dollars and cents. Stupid ass people always think that keeping a growth business operating is no big deal. Like profits appear out of the blue. Amazingly dumb dolts...all of them.
Yes, put community college professors in the cabinet.
