"Virginia Gov.-elect Ralph Northam (D) announced the last of 15 cabinet picks on Tuesday, assembling what his office says would be the first majority-female cabinet in state history.

Northam tapped Esther Lee, a Fairfax economic development official and former official in the Obama administration, to serve as his secretary of commerce."

“Our commonwealth’s diversity is our strength, why is why I made a commitment to building a cabinet that reflects it,” Northam said in a statement. “I’m honored to have this formidable group of experienced, accomplished female leaders joining me in working to build a Virginia that works for everyone, no matter who you are, no matter where you live.”

"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assembled a cabinet that was half female when he took office three years ago. Asked about the importance of gender, he simply stated, “Because it’s 2015.”"
