Oppose unqualified appointments undermining democratic norms

To: Rep. Feenstra, Sen. Ernst, Sen. Grassley, Pres. Trump

From: A verified voter in Ames, IA

May 9

Republican senators' confirmation of Trump's inexperienced and unqualified nominees raises serious concerns about nepotism, cronyism, and the prioritization of loyalty over qualifications in key government roles. Appointing individuals with clear conflicts of interest and lacking relevant expertise to critical positions risks compromising the integrity and effectiveness of public institutions. These actions by the administration and enabling Republican senators undermine principles of good governance, meritocracy, and serving the greater public interest over narrow personal or partisan agendas. The government should operate based on competence, ethics, and dedication to public service - not personal favors or ideological allegiance. Upholding democratic norms and insulating policymaking from improper influences is vital for maintaining trust in government.
