The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee reported favorably on Margaret Weichert’s nomination to serve as deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget.
Weichert was approved by voice vote at a Jan. 8 business meeting, and her nomination now moves for a vote on the Senate floor.
As deputy director for management, Weichert will have a hand in several major technology and workforce issues. The federal CIO reports directly to the position and Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) noted she would also be the “point person” at OMB handling agency reorganization plans.
