As President Biden weighs who to nominate to lead the Office of Management and Budget, one name continues to rise above the others: Shalanda Young.

Young checks several boxes for a potential Biden budget chief and has deep ties to Congress, where she has spent more than 14 years working for the House Appropriations Committee, becoming the staff director in 2017. Young would also be the first black woman to lead the OMB, which is a plus to an administration that has touted a commitment to diversity.
