Beatty Lauds Confirmation of Shalanda Young

Statement

Today, U.S. Congresswoman and Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Chair Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement following Shalanda Young's bipartisan confirmation to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB):

"Shalanda Young leading the OMB with strong, bipartisan support sends a clear message that Congress will work with the Biden Administration to draft budgets that deliver results for the American people," said Beatty. "After spending over a decade on Capitol Hill as a driving force behind the congressional appropriations process and leading the OMB for nearly a year, Young will hit the ground running. We are ready to see the vital changes she will bring as the first Black woman to direct this critical office."

The OMB serves the President of the United States in overseeing the implementation of his or her vision across the Executive Branch. OMB's mission is to assist the President in meeting policy, budget, management, and regulatory objectives and to fulfill the agency's statutory responsibilities.
