AOC bill puts focus on ethnicity, race and sexuality of Biden appointees so they won’t be ‘too white’
June 30, 2021 | Kay Apfel
After calling out a bipartisan group of senators for being “too white” radical lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), unveiled a bill Tuesday to ensure Biden administration appointees are ethnically diverse.
The Political Appointments Inclusion and Diversity (PAID) Act would require the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to publish a summary reporting the overall demographics of political appointees. While this information is already available to the public, the legislation is designed to make it more accessible, thereby putting the squeeze on the administration to employ diverse hiring practices.
While the report would keep the identities of political appointees anonymous, it would include self-identified data on race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, tribal affiliation, disability, veteran status, and age.
