Cap those Cabinets

Rockford’s new school superintendent is working on who will be members of her Cabinet.
Associated Press style is to capitalize any Cabinet that’s made of people, from the presidential one on down.
This is to distinguish it from the kind of cabinet that is a piece of storage equipment. That one is lowercase. Even if you had a really large cabinet and people lived in it, it would be lowercase.
And when they left it, that wouldn’t be the same as coming out of the closet.
