President-elect Joe Biden announced Thursday his choices of Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo to lead the Commerce Department and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to head the Labor Department.
In fleshing out his economics team, Biden also named:
• Isabel Guzman to head the Small Business Administration. She is a former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff at the agency who is now director of California's Office of the Small Business Advocate.
• Don Graves to serve as deputy secretary of Commerce. Former President Barack Obama put Graves in charge of helping revive Detroit when it grappled with bankruptcy by working with municipal, state, business, and community leaders. Graves is a former executive director of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness and deputy assistant secretary for small business, community development, and housing policy in the Treasury Department.
