Here's a cabinet that reflects some political principles I hold close:  good candidates should be rewarded for running good campaigns even if they come up short, and a cabinet position is a great way to build a resume for future state-wide runs.

President:  Elizabeth Warren (MA)
Vice President:  Julian Castro (TX)
Secretary of State:  Cory Booker (NJ)
Secretary of the Treasury:  Michael Bennet (CO)
Secretary of Defense:  Kirsten Gillibrand (NY)
Attorney General:  Kamala Harris (CA)
Secretary of the Interior:  Ruben Gallego (AZ)
Secretary of Agriculture:  Theresa Greenfield (IA)
Secretary of Commerce:  Pete Buttigieg (IN)
Secretary of Labor:  Richard Cordray (OH)
Secretary of Health and Human Services:  Kelda Roys (WI)
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development:  Andrew Gillum (FL)
Secretary of Transportation:  Deborah Ross (NC)
Secretary of Energy:  Katie McGinty (PA)
Secretary of Education:  Chris Giunchigliani (NV)
Secretary of Veterans Affairs:  MJ Hegar (TX)
Secretary of Homeland Security:  Michelle Nunn (GA)

A new and improved one that emphasizes party building:

President:  Elizabeth Warren (MA)
Vice President:  Julian Castro (TX)
Secretary of State:  Cory Booker (NJ)
Secretary of the Treasury:  Michael Bennet (CO)
Secretary of Defense:  Kirsten Gillibrand (NY)
Attorney General:  Kamala Harris (CA)
Secretary of the Interior:  Betty Sutton (OH)
Secretary of Agriculture:  Theresa Greenfield (IA)
Secretary of Commerce:  Pete Buttigieg (IN)
Secretary of Labor:  Mahlon Mitchell (WI)
Secretary of Health and Human Services:  Abdul El-Sayed   (MI)
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development:  Andrew Gillum (FL)
Secretary of Transportation:  Deborah Ross (NC)
Secretary of Energy:  Katie McGinty (PA)
Secretary of Education:  David Garcia (AZ)
Secretary of Veterans Affairs:  MJ Hegar (TX)
Secretary of Homeland Security:  Michelle Nunn (GA)

Choices reflect a handful of principles:
1.)  Focus on developing talent in swing states
2.)  Rewards candidates from previous cycles who ran good campaigns but came up short--hopefully establishes a precedent that will encourage future wavering politicians to commit
3.)  Opens up Senate seats in populous, solidly Democratic states (CA, NY, NJ) and creates opportunities for rising stars
