President-elect Joe Biden has pledged the “most diverse” Cabinet in U.S. history. But the congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus released a letter last night expressing concern that LGBTQ+ representation is insufficient at the highest levels of American government. “While your administration is on track to be the most diverse in American history, we ask that you continue your commitment to diversity by ensuring LGBTQ+ professionals are included in your Cabinet and throughout your administration. The fact is that the LGBTQ+ community remains underrepresented at the highest levels of our government,” said a letter addressed to Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala D. Harris from the nine caucus co-chairs obtained by Power Up. The caucus, however, has notched some wins already, as the transition team has appointed several LGBTQ+ nominees to high-profile roles in the Biden-Harris administration, including in the communications shop and as White House social secretary.
