President Biden Appoints Indian-American Neera Tanden As Domestic Policy Advisor

United States President Joe Biden on Friday named Indian-American Neera Tanden as his Domestic Policy Adviser to help him craft and implement his domestic policy agenda.

“I am pleased to announce that Neera Tanden will continue to drive the formulation and implementation of my domestic policy, from economic mobility and racial equity to health care, immigration and education,” President Biden said.

Neera Tanden replaces Susan Rice as Biden’s Domestic Policy Adviser.

“Tanden will be the first Asian-American to lead any of the three major White House policy councils in history,” President Biden said.

“As Senior Adviser and Staff Secretary, Neera oversaw decision-making processes across my domestic, economic and national security teams. She has 25 years of experience in public policy, has served three Presidents, and led one of the largest think tanks in the country for nearly a decade,” President Biden said.

“She was a key architect of the Affordable Care Act and helped drive key domestic policies that became part of my agenda, including clean energy subsidies and sensible gun reform. While growing up, Neera relied on some of the critical programs that she will oversee as a Domestic Policy Adviser, and I know those insights will serve my Administration and the American people well. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Neera in her new role,” he said.

Neera Tanden currently serves as Senior Adviser to President Biden and Staff Secretary.

She served in both the Obama and Clinton administrations, as well as presidential campaigns and think tanks. Most recently, she was the President and CEO of the Center for American Progress and the Center for American Progress Action Fund.

Tanden previously served as senior adviser for health reform at the Department of Health and Human Services, working on President Obama’s health reform team in the White House.

Prior to that, she was the director of domestic policy for the Obama-Biden presidential campaign and served as policy director for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Tanden served as senior adviser to the Chancellor of the New York City Schools as well as Associate Director for Domestic Policy in the Clinton White House and Senior Policy Adviser to the First Lady.

She received her Bachelor of Science from UCLA and her Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School.

The President also announced that Stefanie Feldman will serve as Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary. Additionally, Zayn Siddique will be promoted to Principal Deputy of the Domestic Policy Council.
