Mr. Gordon is President Biden's nominee to serve as the Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources, and he has a long history of dedication to public service. More recently, he served as director of the Department of Health and Human Services for the State of Michigan. He played a central role in the State's pandemic response and managed an agency of 14,000 employees and a multibillion-dollar budget. Before that, he held senior roles in the U.S. Department of Education and the Office of Management and Budget, where he championed evidence- based policymaking to use taxpayer dollars wisely.
