As President-elect Joe Biden begins the transition process, much media attention has been paid to his Cabinet nominees. Less has focused on the hundreds of individuals selected for his dozens of Agency Review Teams and how they may ultimately influence the character and priorities of his administration.

As Politico noted in November, Agency Review Teams provide “the most thorough look to date on what the Biden administration will look like. Members of review teams often end up taking jobs at the agencies they are assigned to and will influence who the Biden administration eventually hires.”
