President Donald Trump has nominated Eric Ueland, who had served as the White House legislative affairs director during the first Trump administration, as deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget. With the Senate yet to confirm the nomination, Ueland’s LinkedIn profile indicates he is now acting OMB chief of staff.
Ueland’s Government Service Credentials
Ueland is among the 50 nominees that the White House sent to the Senate Tuesday. He had previously served for over four years as the Republican Party’s staff director in the Senate’s budget committee.
His work in the first Trump administration also included serving as undersecretary of state civilian security, democracy and human rights and as director of the Office of U.S. Foreign Assistance. He also had a stint as senior strategy officer in the U.S. foreign aid agency Millennium Challenge Corporation.
Ueland’s career in government service is built upon working in various capacities in the Senate for 18 years starting in 1989. His professional experience also includes working for over six years as the vice president of the lobbying private firm, The Duberstein Group.
If Senate confirms his nomination, Ueland will replace Jason Miller, who served as OMB deputy director for management for four years under the Biden administration.
