Shalanda Young has served as the acting director of OMB since January. If she's confirmed, she will be the first Black woman to hold the title.
Young currently serves as acting director of the office, which plays a key role in both advising the president on the federal budget and overseeing how taxpayer money is spent.
Young was most recently the staff director for the House Appropriations Committee, where she spent much of her career. The powerful committee is the first stop for Congress' giant annual appropriations bills, and staff there have an intimate understanding of how the federal budget is allocated. If she is confirmed as OMB director, Young will become the first Black woman to hold a role that white men have usually occupied. She would also become the third woman ever lead OMB.
