MADISON, Wis. — President-elect Biden is expected to nominate five women to serve as deputy secretaries at Cabinet agencies, including Wisconsin DHS Secretary-designee Andrea Palm.
The Washington Post reports Biden will nominate Andrea Palm as the Heath and Human Services deputy secretary. She had served as senior counselor to the Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Obama. She has also served as a senior advisor at the White House Domestic Policy Council during the implementation and rollout of the Affordable Care Act.
Other nominees include Jewel H. Bronaugh for the Department of Agriculture, Polly Trottenberg for the Department of Transportation, Elizabeth Klein at the Department of the Interior and Cindy Marten at the Department of Education.
The Senate would have to confirm Palm and the other nominees in order to officially take the roles.
