Letters: Trump picks bode well for US

I think it’s great that Nikki Haley has been appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and Betsy DeVos has been appointed secretary of education.

Betsy DeVos heads the pro-charter and pro-school-voucher nonprofit American Federation for Children.

Gov. Haley was formally critical of Donald Trump, but she said she felt a “sense of duty” to accept his offer to be part of his administration.

I commend the recent appointments by President-elect Trump, and look forward to his new administration.
