Biden Taps Robert Santos to Become Census Bureau's First Director of Color
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden is nominating Robert Santos to head the U.S. Census
Bureau. Santos is president of the American Statistical Association.
Santos, who is Mexican American, would become the agency's first
permanent director of color. If confirmed, Santos would fill the term of
Trump appointee Steven Dillingham, who quit in January following
whistleblower complaints over the agency's attempt to rush an inaccurate
report on undocumented residents.
