Sen. Angus King and Rep. Mike Gallagher are worried President Biden’s failure to fill the vacancy of a top cyber position will diminish the government’s ability to secure the country’s digital assets.
Maine’s independent senator and the Wisconsin Republican wrote to Mr. Biden urging him to fill the National Cyber Director position that John C. Inglis left in February.
Mr. King, who caucuses with Democrats, and his Republican colleague Mr. Gallagher recommended Ms. Walden for the position and said they know she would seamlessly transition into the permanent position. Mr. Inglis exited the director’s position earlier this year amid reported disagreements between the former director and a leading cyber White House official.
