Shalanda Delores Young (born 1977/1978)[1] is an American political advisor who is the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), previously serving in an acting capacity from March 24, 2021 through March 17, 2022 concurrently as deputy director. She previously worked for the United States House Committee on Appropriations as its staff director.

Early life and education

Young was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and raised in Clinton, Louisiana.[2][3] She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Loyola University New Orleans and a Master of Health Administration from Tulane University.[4][5]

Career

Young moved to Washington, D.C. around 2001, where she became a Presidential Management Fellow with the National Institutes of Health.[2][6]

For 14 years, Young worked as a staffer for the United States House Committee on Appropriations.[7][8][9] In February 2017, she was named staff director of the committee, a position in which she served until her nomination for deputy director of OMB in 2021.[10][11][9] As staff director on the committee, Young was involved with creating proposals related to the 2018–2019 United States federal government shutdown and the federal government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3]

Office of Management and Budget

During a hearing concerning her nomination for deputy director of the OMB, she received some praise from Republican members of the Senate Budget Committee, including Lindsey Graham, who said "Everybody who deals with you on our side has nothing but good things to say."[12][13][14] The approval of her nomination as deputy director by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee was less bipartisan, with a vote along party lines to advance it, with GOP Senators voicing concerns over her support of removing the Hyde amendment from the federal budget.[15]

As she was confirmed as deputy director of the OMB, she then became the acting director until she was officially confirmed.[16][2]

As the nomination of Neera Tanden for OMB director faced opposition, Democrats in the Congressional Black Caucus began to consider Young for the position of OMB director, should Tanden's nomination fail.[17] After Tanden's nomination for OMB director was withdrawn, the CBC and New Democrat Coalition later endorsed Young outright.[18][19] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn released a joint statement concerning Young, saying:

As longtime Members of the Appropriations Committee, we take great pride in recommending Shalanda Young as Director of the Office of Management and Budget. ... Her leadership at the OMB would be historic and would send a strong message that this Administration is eager to work in close coordination with Members of Congress to craft budgets that meet the challenges of our time and can secure broad, bipartisan support.[20][13][14]

Young also received an endorsement for OMB director from Rosa DeLauro, who is the chairwoman of the House Committee on Appropriations.[15][21] Young received support from various Senate Republicans other than Lindsey Graham, including Senate Appropriations Committee ranking member Richard Shelby from Alabama.[16][22][23]

Young was confirmed by the United States Senate by a vote of 63–37 to be OMB deputy, on March 23, 2021.[24]

On November 24, Biden announced he would nominate Young as OMB director, after eight months serving as acting director.[25] The Senate confirmed Young in a 61-36 vote on March 15, 2022.[26]
