Biden Cabinet members actions and issues: on Families & Children


Janet Yellen: Will work every day toward rebuilding American dream

After Biden confirmed Yellen's nomination as treasury secretary on Nov. 30, she took to Twitter with a message about her priorities in her first-ever tweet: "We face great challenges as a country right now," she wrote. "To recover, we must restore the American dream -- a society where each person can rise to their potential and dream even bigger for their children. As Treasury Secretary, I will work every day towards rebuilding that dream for all."

Antony Blinken: Having young children at home inspires him at State Dept

Having two very young children is actually an incredible source of inspiration because it really grounds what I'm trying to do, and especially what I'm trying to help the President do, in the reality that we are all here to try to make sure that life is better every single day for our fellow citizens and especially that what we're doing is trying to leave a world that's just a little bit safer, a little bit more prosperous, a little healthier to our kids and grandkids.
