The incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump is set to see a resurgence of familiar faces, with several key cabinet members from his first term being reinstated for his impending tenure.
Trump unveiled his selection for a number of high-ranking posts on Truth Social this past Saturday, underscoring the significance of their prior experience, as reported by The Post Millennial.
Among the notable announcements is the nomination of Steven Bradbury for the role of Deputy Secretary of Transportation. Bradbury, who held the position of General Counsel at the Department of Transportation during Trump's initial term, was lauded for his efforts in revitalizing "our crumbling infrastructure" and eliminating regulations that were "killing jobs." Katharine MacGregor, who has previously concentrated on energy development within the Department of the Interior, has been chosen as its Deputy Secretary.
David Fotouhi, a veteran of Trump's first administration, has been nominated for the position of Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Paul R. Lawrence, who has been appointed to serve as deputy secretary of Veterans Affairs, has been tasked by Trump with ensuring that veterans receive the "respect they deserve."
Professor Casey B. Mulligan, who served as the Chief Economist on Trump's Council of Economic Advisers during his first term, has been appointed as Chief Counsel for Advocacy at the US Small Business Administration. Trump lauded Mulligan as a "fantastic economist" and a "highly respected expert on regulations that are crushing our Small Businesses."
James Danly, a retired Army officer and decorated veteran who was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his service in Iraq, has been appointed as Deputy Secretary of Energy. Danly's previous roles include General Counsel, Commissioner, and Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, where Trump emphasized his accomplishments in promoting "regulatory reform to ensure abundant and affordable energy for the American People."
These announcements arrive as Trump prepares to embark on his second term in a little over a week, indicating a clear intention to leverage the experience and expertise of his previous administration to drive his policy agenda forward.
