Also from Bowman to Blunt:
“Another deep concern relates to the racial makeup of your cabinet. According to research conducted by my staff, Missouri is one of just four states in which there currently are no racial minorities in cabinet-level positions. The others are Alaska, Nevada and West Virginia. Missouri is a diverse state and appointees to top executive branch posts should reflect that diversity. As cabinet positions open during the remainder of your term, we ask that you consider including racial minorities in your administration.”
