Jun 2020

State: Kerry comes back

Commerce: Russ Feingold

Interior: Jay Inslee

Heath and Human Services: Howard Dean

Housing and Urban Development: Veronica Biggins or Pete Buttigieg

UN Ambassador: Pete Buttigieg or bring back Susan Rice

Labor: Al Franken

Education: Either Cecile Richards or Michelle Obama (probably neither would want the post)

Agriculture: Rob Sand (currently Iowa State Auditor, knows a LOT about agriculture!)

Attorney General: Stacy Abrams (I'm assuming Hillary is not interested)

Transportation: Beto O'Rourke

Veterans Affairs: Tammy Duckworth, although I am in principle against taking experienced Senators out of the Senate

Intelligence director: Valerie Plame

Chief of Staff: David Simas or David Axelrod, or someone really good from his campaign who isn't yet well known.

Defense: If he would be interested, Wes Clark. Or Kerry if he doesn't want to do State again, but would join the administration.
