President-elect Barack Obama on Monday, December 15, formally announced his first high-ranking openly gay appointee, naming Los Angeles deputy mayor Nancy Sutley as chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
Sutley, 46, is deputy mayor for Energy and Environment for the city of Los Angeles. She was, according to ABC News, a member of Hillary Clinton's LGBT steering committee in California. She served in the administration of President Bill Clinton as a senior policy adviser to the Environmental Protection Agency's regional administrator in San Francisco.
