The “Forgotten” Conservatives
Donald Trump has patched together teams of persons assigned to prepare for a transition of governments, and has nominated persons to serve in his cabinet. But, today a Presidential administration retains some 400 persons for service in positions that require Senate confirmation.
It seems that President Trump is digging into his list of personal business contacts for persons to fill top positions. But, there are a number of very senior, accomplished, conservatives whose names are not to be found in the President’s rolodex.
Here are just a few of these “forgotten” conservatives:
National Security Norman Bailey
Finance and economics John Rutledge
Defense John Lenczowski
Justice Roger Pilon
The States Joseph Bast
Agriculture Ron Williamson
Healthcare Greg Scandlen
Transportation Nathan A. Benefield
Education Neal McCluskey
Veterans Mackubin Thomas Owens
Terrorism John J. Tierney, Jr.
Environment H. Sterling Burnett
