Biden selects Martin O’Malley to head Social Security.
President Biden Nominates Martin O’Malley as Commissioner of Social Security Administration
President Joe Biden has announced his intent to nominate former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley as the next commissioner of the Social Security Administration. This decision comes as part of Biden’s efforts to fill permanent administration leads.
If confirmed by the Senate, O’Malley will replace Dr. Kilolo Kijakazi, who currently serves as the acting Social Security commissioner.
“Gov. O’Malley is a lifelong public servant who has spent his career making government more accessible and transparent while keeping the American people at the heart of his work,” Biden said.
“As mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland, he adopted data and performance-driven technologies to tackle complex challenges facing the communities he served — and I saw the results firsthand when we worked together during my time as vice president,” he continued. “As governor, he made government work more effectively across his administration and enhanced the way millions of people accessed critical services.”
“Since day one, I have fought to strengthen and defend Social Security, which tens of millions of Americans have paid into and depend on to support their livelihoods,” Biden finished. “I know that Gov. O’Malley will continue to be a strong partner who works tirelessly to protect Social Security for generations to come.”
O’Malley brings a wealth of experience to the role, having served as governor of Maryland from 2007-2015 and two terms as mayor of Baltimore prior to that. He suspended his 2016 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination and later endorsed Hillary Clinton.
With O’Malley’s nomination, President Biden aims to ensure the continued strength and protection of Social Security for the benefit of millions of Americans.
