| Hilda L. Solis: Secretary of Labor |
There are few women in the United States Cabinet. One of them is Hilda Solis, the Secretary of Labor. But she knows how to be heard. She has an active and verified twitter profile with more than 7.700 followers, where she tweets regularly.
Every once in a while she tweets in Spanish. This came quite as a surprise to me. But it makes sense: Solis’ parents came from Nicaragua and Mexico. Considering the high number of people in the U.S. whose native tongue is Spanish, this comes in handy. Solis tries to build a bridge between those two languages and both ethnic groups.
She has two main topics: immigration and women. She stands up for successful immigration: “#Immigration has been kicked dn the rd for far 2 long. Partisan obstructionism can't be allowed to derail change that is right & necessary” Other than that she’s encouraging women and points to topics related to women and work-life. Like in this tweet: “Shared stories of our journeys, common theme to success = hard work, drive, education and passion. Our message to girls: go for it!”
Solis also seems to have a passion for shiny cars. It was one of her latest tweets that kind of looked funny to me: “Personal faves were the @FordMustang, @Chevrolet Equinox and @Chrysler 300. @WashAutoShow“ How much money did she get for all the tweets about Ford and new cars? Do I smell the scent of advertisement here?! Or is it just the enthusiasm of a woman for nice cars?
I can’t tell. But what I can tell is that this Secretary has done her twitter-homework. Or what do you think?
