Gov. Jenniffer González Colón said there “will be some changes in agencies where we have interim officials who will move to permanent positions, and possibly some officials will be transferred to other agencies because they have demonstrated extraordinary ability to handle certain matters.”

Gov. Jenniffer González Colón said Wednesday that her administration will implement minor changes within some executive agencies, primarily involving interim officials and potential internal shifts within the cabinet.

“There will be minimal changes,” the governor told reporters during a press conference. “We had a cabinet meeting on Monday where we discussed this year’s agenda with the entire team.”

González Colón noted that “[t]here will be some changes in agencies where we have interim officials who will move to permanent positions, and possibly some officials will be transferred to other agencies because they have demonstrated extraordinary ability to handle certain matters.”

The governor added that the adjustments should begin to take effect in the coming weeks and reiterated her confidence in her team.

“We should start seeing this later this month, in the next few weeks,” she said. “But they are minimal changes. I am satisfied with the cabinet team I have.”

Her remarks came after an event at La Fortaleza alongside House Speaker Carlos “Johnny” Méndez Núñez and legislators highlighting the legacy of SER de Puerto Rico, a nonprofit that has offered physical rehabilitation services on the island for 75 years.
