 Not done: It's already there; in the Political offices section of the template. It's not a Party political office. And you got the preceding commissioner wrong... ⸺(Random)staplers 17:20, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This request isn't for the office holders, which as you pointed out is already listed. It's for the nominees for the office, similar to the existing succession boxes for the office of lieutenant governor and governor, which are already listed. The reason the predecessor is different is because it's referring to who is predecessor was as Republican nominee for the office of Texas Agriculture Commissioner, not his predecessor in the office of Agriculture Commissioner (said predecessor being Jim Hightower, a Democrat). Please add it so the succession boxes are displayed as the following:

 Not done for now: You're still going to need to provide a reliable source supporting Bill Powers as the previous nominee, since he doesn't have a Wikipedia page. ⸺(Random)staplers 19:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add hyperlink (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Brouillette) to Dan Brouillette's page, as the Deputy Secretary of Energy in the infobox section. Jgraham4389 (talk) 18:28, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I swapped the link from the successor to the deputy. It only needs to be linked once in the infobox. Aydoh8^[contribs] 12:38, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add page link to Dan Brouillette in the "Succeeded by" section of his infobox as 14th United States Secretary of Energy. 2003:CB:EF20:A000:886A:FC77:CA92:B076 (talk) 20:29, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done While we wouldn't normally link to the same item that close together, per MOS:DL, the infobox is parsed as a list, and I think the exception applies. PianoDan (talk) 23:23, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
