A spokeswoman for Cooper pointed out that the cabinet has an average of 24 years of experience, and each has advanced degrees. The list includes:

- Erik Hooks, Public Safety: $138,040
- Michael Regan, Environmental Quality: $130,935
- Dr. Mandy Cohen, Health and Human Services: $142,100
Cooper has not yet named permanent heads for the Department of Revenue or the Department of Information Technology.
