Nominator’s thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
Is Competent …organizing and galvanizing volunteers at small or large scales; event and education planning, founding organizations that improve quality of life
Is Honest…not afraid to tell the hard truths of our current political and environmental situation, has a thick skin and fast rebound
Is Respectful …honors the 7th Generation Principle, and believes in the collective genius, open to all ideas as well as criticism.
Has Integrity …First elected official to step down in protest against Covide mandates. Comes from a working-class background, started and ran small
businesses, and engaged in extensive volunteer community work.
Has Courage … Embarked on a solo trek across Alaska, documenting the adventure for the National Geographic Explorer Journal. Fought back against harmful telecom legislation in Sacramento dozens of times to educate the legislature on the dangers of EMF/RF from cell antennas and was a regular public speaker opposing the telecom capture of our municipalities and legislative process. Reinette did this even during the 2020 suppression of public voices at the Capitol and the blatant disregard for the public comment process and our right to dissent. Her bold and public push-back against Covid-era mandates and desertion of constitutional rights was heroic.
Has a Proven Record… Long track record of being able to start projects or programs and taking it from zero to 60.

Reinette is a force for the good! I had the opportunity to see and speak with her when I moved back to California at a meeting up in Humboldt. Her care and concern for future generations was refreshing and beautiful to see. She is a warrior and has been fighting tirelessly to change the corrupt crony “climate policies” to bring genuine healthy change for us and our environment. I hope you will consider her for the value and tenacity she will bring! MAHA!!
I’ve heard Reinette refer to herself many times as a “solutionist,” and she is true to her word. When she became active in the battle to Save Our Skies, it was remarkable how quickly she got to the bottom of it all. Reinette has integrity, passion, and a good heart and would be a fantastic addition to the MAHA team!
Reinette has worked as an elected leader. She has a depth, and breadth of experience she can bring to MAHA to help ensure success. She also has integrity.
I came to know Reinette Senum through her work on Save Our Skies - sounding the alarm on Geoengineering, bringing experts and concerned citizens like myself together to document and oppose the desecration of our skies, air, and soil through secret spraying programs. Reinette is an amazing communicator, a powerhouse - deeply thoughtful, courageous, honest, and accessible. She would be a huge asset on the Council on Environmental Quality.
I cannot say enough good things about Reinette Senum!!! She is not afraid to tell the truth about things that are harming people and the environment. And she is committed to working to change things.

There is literally not a better person on this planet for this job than Reinette. She has worked so hard on behalf of her city, her state, and the world at large. I hope to be like her when I grow up. Her chemistry with Bobby as true champions of humanity will be epic. My heartfelt vote goes to her 1000% !!!
Reinette will undoubtedly be a massive asset for MAHA. I couldn’t think of a better person. She is spot-on with her research, well-spoken, humble, and has integrity.
Reinette is a true champion for truth and justice.
I learned of Reinette Senum’s substack recently through a recommendation. I was immediately inspired by her intellect and capacity for motivating viewers to take action. She has a wealth of experience and success in positions of founding organizations and leadership. She is an educator at heart and able to help those new to a topic grasp the underpinnings so they can move forward with an understanding of what has transpired and what the consequences will be if we as a society and nation continue to do what we have done. The thought of Reinette Senum in a position in the Trump administration where she has an even wider audience and the power (along with responsibility) of leading new efforts gives me great hope for the future of the United States.
Exceptional leader with years of leadership experience and the backbone to fight for the good of this nation. She would be an enormous asset to the administration.
Reinette Senum is the perfect leader for this position. I’ve followed her work for over a year now and her knowledge and comprehension of the broad scope of environmental issues is not matched by anyone. She has real solutions and stands up for our health and environment. I’ll stand behind her for this work.
