As OpenSecrets notes, "Only a tiny fraction of Americans actually give campaign contributions to political candidates, parties or PACs. Just 0.97% of the United States population contributed more than two hundred dollars to federal candidates, PACs, parties, and outside groups [last cycle]" This is the reason campaign contributions are such an instructive tool in analyzing civil servants, because only the most avid partisans - less than one percent - write a check to a candidate.

Karen Comfort aggressively rammed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at HHS, asserting that it should be the department's top priority.
“As we forge ahead, our commitment to DEIA remains unwavering, with every leader held to the highest standard of progress and purpose. It is a collective endeavor, where each HHS employee embraces their pivotal role in nurturing an environment where everyone feels valued and included.”
“DEIA is not just a concept but the very essence of our identity at HHS, woven into the very core of our present and future.”
