Trump announces White House policy team

President-elect Trump on Thursday announced a list of staffers who will work on his White House policy team, saying all are required to agree to a five-year lobbying ban after leaving the administration.

The people named to Trump’s Domestic Policy Council are also required to agree to a lifetime ban on lobbying for a foreign government.

A press release from the transition said the staffers will report to Stephen Miller, the former aide to Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions who worked on Trump’s campaign and was recently named senior adviser to the president for policy.

Those named include:

  • Andrew Bremberg, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council
  • Paul Winfree, deputy director of the Domestic Policy Council and director of budget policy
  • Katy Talento, healthcare policy
  • Ja’Ron Smith, urban affairs and revitalization
  • Rob Goad, education policy
  • John Zadrozny, justice and homeland security policy
  • Zina Bash, regulatory reform, legal and immigration Policy
  • Peter J. White, senior policy analyst
  • Carlos Diaz-Rosillo, director of policy and interagency coordination
  • Vince Haley, adviser for policy, strategy and speechwriting
  • Ross Worthington, adviser for policy, strategy and speechwriting
  • Ryan Jarmula, adviser for policy development and speechwriting
  • Robert Gabriel, special assistant to the senior adviser
  • Alexander Gray, deputy director of the National Trade Council for the defense industrial base
  • Rolf Lundberg, deputy director of the National Trade Council for “buy American, hire American”

“These knowledgeable, skilled and talented experts will make enormous contributions to the President-Elect’s America first agenda,” incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said.
