New Term Brings New Cabinet Members

President Bush has nominated Carlos Gutierrez to be the secretary of commerce in his cabinet. If approved by the Senate, Gutierrez would replace Commerce Secretary Donald Evans, who recently resigned. Gutierrez seems like a good choice for this position and has proven himself as a man with fresh ideas and good work ethic throughout his past 30 years working with Kellogg's Company. He was the CEO of Kellogg's company until he accepted this new cabinet position. Gutierrez has worked his way up in life, learning English from a Miami bellhop after his family fled from Cuba, through several different positions at Kellogg until he was appointed CEO in 1999. Under Gutierrez's leadership, Kellogg saw a 43% increase in sales between 1999 and 2004, from $6.2 billion to $8.8 billion. It is experiences and successes like these that Bush noticed about Gutierrez. Hopefully, he will continue to think of new ideas and positive changes for the American economy.
Gutierrez is the first new member of Bush's economic team; more changes may be underway, including a change in the Secretary of the Treasury. But, as of yet, Bush has declined to state any specifics.
