Hispanic Cabinet Members?

Conference President Mayor Manny Diaz as new Homeland Security Chief or Secretary of HUD?   Also mentioned are other Latino leaders that could be a part of the Obama White House and Cabinet.

heard from a very strong source that Philadelphia's Judge Nelson A. Diaz is up for Secretary of HUD. He was HUD's General Counsel under President Clinton and knows the terrain. What's more, the Brookings Institute is publishing a book on Housing and it cites the Diaz Opinion as the cause for the success of the HOPE IV (hope 6) program. Judge Diaz's opinion allowed leveraging of public and private financing and partnerships with private sector by the Public Housing Authorities that was never done before. He'd be a great choice.
