Trump Announces New Hire
President Donald Trump has formally selected Andrea Lucas to serve as the new Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) — a decisive action intended to restore common sense, religious freedom, and genuine equality within America’s top workplace civil rights agency.
This decision marks a major victory for conservatives who have long demanded an end to politically driven “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) programs that put ideology ahead of merit.
🔹 Trump’s Bold Move to Restore Fairness
Lucas was first appointed by President Trump in 2020 and confirmed earlier this year for another five-year term — despite fierce pushback from Democrats and left-wing activist groups.
Her leadership has been praised by conservatives for focusing the EEOC on real civil rights protection — not divisive identity politics.
“Under President Trump, the Commission has made real progress enforcing civil rights laws and protecting American workers,” Lucas said. “As Chair, I’m committed to equal opportunity, merit-based fairness, and colorblind equality in every American workplace.”
🔹 Standing Up for Faith and Freedom at Work
Under Lucas’s guidance, the EEOC has taken a bold stand for religious liberty — including cases like one involving the Mayo Clinic, where an employee claimed religious objections to a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy.
Her approach makes it clear: No American should have to choose between their faith and their job.
President Trump also reshaped the EEOC’s leadership by removing partisan holdovers and restoring a Republican majority dedicated to upholding the Constitution and protecting workers of faith, principle, and hard work.
🔹 Cracking Down on Radical DEI Mandates
The Trump-era EEOC has shifted away from political favoritism, ending lawsuits that promoted gender ideology and tightening oversight of DEI programs that critics say promote reverse discrimination.
Instead, Lucas is pushing for race-neutral, merit-driven hiring practices — ensuring every American has a fair shot based on skill and effort, not race or identity.
Employment attorney Scott Kelly agrees: “Companies need to make sure their DEI programs follow the law and don’t cross the line into discrimination.”
🔹 The Left Melts Down — Conservatives Applaud
Predictably, left-wing groups like the National Women’s Law Center attacked Lucas, accusing her of “abandoning workers.” But conservatives say that’s nonsense. Lucas’s record shows she’s protecting all workers — regardless of background — while stopping the government from picking winners and losers based on ideology.
Dan Lennington of the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty endorsed Lucas as “a champion of equality and race-neutrality,” saying the EEOC under Trump “will finally end race-based quotas and restore fairness for millions of American workers.”
🔹 A New Era for American Workers
Under President Trump’s leadership, the EEOC is once again focusing on faith, fairness, and freedom — not political activism.
Andrea Lucas’s appointment represents more than just a change in leadership — it’s a return to America’s founding values: equal opportunity, hard work, and the belief that every citizen deserves a fair shot at success.
