Linda Chavez
Linda Lou Chavez (born June 17, 1947) is an American author,
commentator, and radio talk show host. She is also a
Fox News analyst, Chairman of the
Center for Equal Opportunity, has a
syndicated column that appears in newspapers nationwide each week, and sits on the board of directors of two ''Fortune'' 500 companies:
Pilgrim's Pride and
ABM Industries. Chavez was the highest-ranking woman in President
Ronald Reagan's White House, and was the first Latina ever nominated to the
United States Cabinet, when President George W. Bush nominated her Secretary of Labor. She withdrew from consideration for the position when the media published allegations that she had employed an illegal immigrant a decade earlier. In 2000, Chavez was named a
Living Legend by the Library of Congress.
