Early life and education

Shalanda Delores Young was born in Zachary, Louisiana, and raised in Clinton, Louisiana.[2][5][6] After graduating from Scotlandville Magnet High School, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Loyola University New Orleans and a Master of Health Administration from Tulane University.[7][8][2]

For 14 years, Young worked as a staffer for the United States House Committee on Appropriations.[10][11][12] In February 2017, she was named staff director of the committee, a position in which she served until her nomination for deputy director of OMB in 2021.[13][14][12] As staff director on the committee, Young was involved with creating proposals related to the 2018–2019 United States federal government shutdown and the federal government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6]

During a hearing concerning her nomination for deputy director of the OMB, she received some praise from Republican members of the

Hyde amendment from the federal budget.[18]

As she was confirmed as deputy director of the OMB, she then became the acting director until she was officially confirmed.[19][5]

As the nomination of

Senate Appropriations Committee ranking member Richard Shelby from Alabama.[19][25][26]

Young was confirmed by the United States Senate by a vote of 63–37 to be OMB deputy, on March 23, 2021.[27]

On November 24, Biden announced he would nominate Young as OMB director, after eight months serving as acting director.[28] The Senate confirmed Young in a 61–36 vote on March 15, 2022.[29]

Young, along with Steve Ricchetti and Louisa Terrell, was tapped to lead the Democratic side in negotiations over the 2023 United States debt-ceiling crisis. Representative Garret Graves, a key Kevin McCarthy ally and point person on debt and budget issues, was tapped to lead the Republican side.[30] With a reputation for being known and trusted by members of both parties, Young's input was described as "indispensable" in reaching a proposed agreement.[1]
