Washington: NETWORK today expressed strong approval of President Obama’s appointment of Cecilia Muñoz to the position of Director of the Domestic Policy Council.

We have long admired her dedication to comprehensive immigration reform and look forward to her impact in that area. We have also been inspired by her passion and knowledge of issues related to civil rights, jobs, healthcare, housing and education.

We are thrilled to have someone with her strengths and understanding serving in such an influential office, and we look forward to working with her.
