Gov. Gavin Newsom announced new appointments for various state jobs Friday, including a Sacramento resident as secretary of the California Department of Veterans Affairs. Lindsey Sin will be taking over the CalVet position. Sin previously worked in the department in several roles, including deputy secretary of communications and deputy secretary of Women Veterans Affairs. In 2010, she was the veterans benefits advisor at California State University, Sacramento, where she is also an alumna. 'Lindsey is the definition of a public servant — never losing sight of who she is serving, and tireless in pursuing her mission,' Newsom stated in the announcement.
