NCLR (National Council of La Raza) applauds the nomination of Katherine Archuleta to lead the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Archuleta has served as both the Chief of Staff for former Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and the National Political Director for President Obama’s reelection campaign.
“Once again, the president has nominated a strong Hispanic candidate for a position to his administration. We are extremely pleased to see a Latina nominated,” said Janet Murguía, President and CEO of NCLR. “Katherine Archuleta is well respected and admired for her long career in public service as well as her many contributions not only to the Latino community, but also to our nation.”
This makes Archuleta the second Hispanic to be nominated for a high-level appointment during the president’s second term.
“We look forward to the Senate quickly approving her nomination and are encouraged that the president has sought out some of the Latino community’s most talented to continue taking our nation forward,” concluded Murguía.”
NCLR—the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States—works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans.
