I am going to be really disappointed if Tom Steyer does not get a policy position with the Biden adm

[Boogiemack]

He is one of the most unsung heroes of our party. It's a shame he doesn't have more respect in the party.

[SlogginThroughIt]

1. What would he be qualified for?

[Boogiemack]

24. Well maybe this is a start.

Steyer announced in October 2012 that he would be stepping down from his position at Farallon in order to focus on political activism, in particular on advocating for alternative energy.[16] He cited his desire to focus on giving back "full time" and to revolve his life around service. In an interview he said, "I've tried to organize a business voice for what I call advanced energy....I think I'm going to be focused on how to, is there a way to move the needle in some way having to do with thought or policy. And I don't know what shape that's going to take.”

It was reported in January 2013 that Steyer might be named as a replacement for Energy Secretary Steven Chu or that he might run for Dianne Feinst (Wiki)

25. yeah that might be a good spot for him

I don’t know how he stacks up compared to others that might be potential candidates though.

I am not saying he shouldn’t be in the cabinet, I just don’t think he should get a spot just for being a guy that is doing good activism work. If he is qualified for a job then he should by all means be considered.

2. lol why ?

[JI7]

3. He has never held public office. maybe he can get an ambassador jobj

[C_U_L8R]

4. He seemed to disappear after the primary

Is he that much of a team player?

[Demsrule86]

7. Did he help with the election? I never heard one word.

[C_U_L8R]

8. He's definitely not a Mike Bloomberg.

[Demsrule86]

13. If Bloomberg wanted something, I think he has earned it given his support of us over the last

four years...he funded 18, work on guns and put ads in Georgia and Florida.

[dsp3000]

18. I think he funded NextGen America- they may have done a lot ? i got a million texts from them

I got a Biden bumper sticker from them as well.... i dont know how much they actually did nationwide but at least they helped turned out the vote.

[Demsrule86]

22. That was in 2013.

[StarfishSaver]

5. Seriously?

What position do you think he's entitled to?

[onetexan]

6. Maybe an ambassadorship?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. How much respect from the party should he be getting, seeing as how

he pretty much disappeared after the primaries? And what position might he be especially qualified for, since he's never even worked in government at all?

[jalan48]

10. He's been actively involved in the climate change issue for years. That would seem like a good fit.

[mtnsnake]

12. That's a good point.

He was so involved with getting Trump impeached that I forgot about his efforts on behalf of the climate and environment.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. John Kerry already got that job.

[Turin_C3PO]

26. Maybe Steyer

could possibly serve in the new climate division as an under secretary of sorts. I don't really know, I'm just spitballing here.

[mtnsnake]

11. I'm not sure about a policy position, but

I agree with you that he is one of the most unsung heroes.

I also agree that he doesn't get enough respect, especially since he is the one who arguably got the ball rolling on impeaching Trump, or at least he was the first one to spend millions of dollars of his own money with some great TV commercials that encouraged impeachment long before anyone else had the guts to do it.

[Vivienne235729]

14. Bloomberg has done SO MUCH more than Steyer. Mike deserves a

Position before steyers. But I highly doubt Mike even wants a position.

[awesomerwb1]

15. Your disappointment has been noted

[Klaralven]

16. Would either Steyer or Bloomberg want a day job?

They are probably both better used on specific ad hoc projects and key committees.

19. He's a good candidate to be appointed by Biden to a Blue Ribbon committee tasked...

to do something

[Dem4Life1102]

20. No unqualified rich white guys

Not when there are so many experienced African Americans, Hispanics, Women and LGBTQ people to choose from.

[LanternWaste]

21. Who is arguing for unqualified individuals?

No one, right?

[Dem4Life1102]

23. What experience does Steyer have working in government?
