Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is working to crowdsource names for the more than 4,000 appointees under the second upcoming Trump administration.
Kennedy, a former environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine crusader, launched a website that asks the public to submit names of candidates who might be qualified for positions in environmental, energy, agriculture, labor policies and beyond.
So far, popular submissions for environmental and natural resource picks include former Nevada City, California, Mayor Reinette Senum and self-proclaimed forester Sterling Mantlow.
Senum in a post on social media website X celebrated her nomination as a "bid to address geoengineering at the highest level!"
After dropping his independent campaign for president in August, Kennedy joined Trump's campaign with a mission to "Make America Healthy Again," a play on Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again."
Kennedy's MAHA agenda includes ridding the nation's food, pharmaceuticals and the surrounding environment of toxic chemicals, as well as addressing corporate influence in agencies.
Exactly what role Kennedy would serve in the Trump administration is still yet to be determined.
Sources close to Kennedy say he is reviewing resumes for top officials in the Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration, according to Reuters.
On Monday, Trump picked Lee Zeldin to be EPA administrator.
Spokespeople for Kennedy or the Trump transition team did not immediately respond for comment.
