On the recordMarch 23, 2021
I rise in support of confirming Shalanda Young as the Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The OMB urgently needs Senate-confirmed leaders, and Ms. Young is exceptionally qualified for this role. Her budget experience and extensive record of bipartisan results are what the OMB needs to guide our Nation through the current pandemic and through the current economic crisis. During her 14 years as a senior staff member for the House Appropriations Committee, Ms. Young developed a deep understanding of the budget process and government operations, and she has been instrumental in negotiating bipartisan agreements on many critical issues. She is a proven leader who is ready to get to work at the OMB, and I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting her confirmation. I yield the floor. Vote on Young Nomination
