Cedric Richmond in National Public Radio

On Crime: Reach out to conservatives & formerly incarcerated people

Part my office is to engage with constituencies all across the country. The two new areas that I want to do is, one, I want to reach out to conservatives, and the other, I want to reach out to formerly incarcerated people and make sure that they know that they have a person in the White House that is there to handle their constituency and the issues that come up. And so for conservatives, that's going to be important, too.

Every person that's a part of the Cabinet will work on President Biden and Senator Harris' agenda. And so once you decide to go into the administration, you leave your own personal politics behind and you adopt those of the president, and you adopt his priorities. And so his climate plan is aggressive and bold. His poverty reduction plan is progressive and bold.
