New term, new team

Inauguration | Nine new Cabinet members join six old—with roots in Asia, Africa, Cuba, and middle America—to lead the new administration | Bob Jones

Agriculture

Budget: $19.1 billion

Employees: 109,832

Secretary designate: Mike Johanns

The son of a small dairy farmer from Iowa who went on to become governor of Nebraska, Mr. Johanns will take over a department that has seen its budget decline as funds are shifted to homeland security.

Commerce

Budget: $5.8 billion

Employees: 40,000

Secretary designate: Carlos Gutierrez

Mr. Gutierrez has the kind of up-by-the-bootstraps story the president loves: He’s a Cuban immigrant who got his start delivering Kellogg’s breakfast cereal in Mexico City—then worked his way up to CEO of the company. As the nation’s top business advocate, he’ll have the task of selling other CEOs on policies ranging from tax reform to ending corporate welfare.
