Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is working to crowdsource names for the more than 4,000 appointees under the second upcoming Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Kennedy, a former environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine crusader, launched a website<\/a> that asks the public to submit names of candidates who might be qualified for positions in environmental, energy, agriculture, labor policies and beyond.<\/p>\n

So far, popular submissions for environmental and natural resource picks include former Nevada City, California, Mayor Reinette Senum<\/a> and self-proclaimed forester Sterling Mantlow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Senum in a post on social media website X<\/a> celebrated her nomination as a “bid to address geoengineering at the highest level!”<\/p>\n

After dropping his independent campaign for president in August, Kennedy joined Trump’s campaign with a mission to “Make America Healthy Again,” a play on Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again.”<\/p>\n

Kennedy’s MAHA agenda includes ridding the nation’s food, pharmaceuticals and the surrounding environment of toxic chemicals, as well as addressing corporate influence in agencies.<\/p>\n

Exactly what role Kennedy would serve in the Trump administration is still yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

Sources close to Kennedy say he is reviewing resumes for top officials in the Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration, according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Trump picked Lee Zeldin to be EPA administrator.<\/p>\n

Spokespeople for Kennedy or the Trump transition team did not immediately respond for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
