Wilson 2008

administration 2008
- help build an executive branch of the best and the brightest

This page is the heart of the campaign. What I will be doing here is creating the Executive Branch that I would like to take office in 2008. When we elect a president, we elect everybody he or she appoints -- it's only right that we know who they will be before we vote.

I encourage and welcome suggestions. Please email suggestions to kelceywilson@wilson2008.com.

I'll begin by making two lists: the first will be the positions that the President appoints or nominates, and the second will be people I might like to have in my administration. As time goes on I will attach names to the first list. Some positions may list multiple names as I try to decide who would be best for the position. Also certain positions require multiple appointees. As this project develops, I will try to improve the layout so that it will be easy to see where a position lies in the overall government hierarchy. Last updated 27-May-2008 21:12 .
