Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is working to crowdsource names for the more-than 4,000 appointees under the second upcoming Trump administration.

Kennedy, a former environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine crusader, launched a website that asks the public to submit names of candidates who might be qualified for positions in environmental, energy, agriculture, labor policies and beyond.

So far, popular submissions for environmental and natural resource picks include former Nevada City, California, Mayor Reinette Senum and self-proclaimed forester Sterling Mantlow.
