Joe Biden, U.S. President: “Today it’s my honor to nominate two extraordinary history-making women to lead the Office of Management and Budget. The Office of Management and Budget has been called the nerve center of our government. This is an agency that not only helps me create the budget, but also makes sure that your tax dollars are spent efficiently and effectively and exactly as the law requires. Today, I’m nominating Shalanda Young to be OMB Director. Shalanda came to Washington two decades ago as a presidential management fellow, an important training ground for young people interested in public service. And prior to joining my administration, she served for several years as a staff director for the US House Committee on Appropriations, where she earned the trust, respect and admiration of Democrats and Republicans alike. In her eight months as acting director of OMB, she’s continued to impress me and congressional leaders as well. Shalanda will not only be a tremendously qualifies director, she’ll also be a historic director. The first Black woman to hold the post. She will join the most diverse presidential cabinet in history. And to fulfill the role of deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget I’m nominating Nani Coloretti. You know, this will be the homecoming for Nani, who started her career as a presidential management fellow at OMB. She currently serves as senior vice president for financial and business strategies at the Urban Institute. Previously, Nani has overseen management at the Treasury Department, helped set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and in the Obama-Biden Administration, served as deputy secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. A proud Filipina-American, Nani will be one of the most senior Asian-American leaders in government. Shalanda Young and Nani Coloretti are two of the most experienced, qualified people to lead OMB. Each has been confirmed before by the United States Senate with strong bipartisan support, and I urge the Senate to swiftly confirm them again, so they can lead OMB at this important time.”
