White House Infrastructure Point-Man Landrieu Shifts to Biden Re-election
Mitch Landrieu, who oversaw the launch of the $1.2-trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, is leaving his post as White House director of infrastructure implementation to become a co-chair of President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. Jan. 12 will be Landrieu's last day in his current post, the White House said on Jan. 7.
Natalie Quillian, Biden's deputy chief of staff, will then lead the administration’s team for IIJA implementation, a White House official said in a statement.
Quillian currently oversees the broader effort to implement legislation enacted in the administration’s first two years and has shepherded the Biden administration's Investing in America brand and implementation strategy, an effort that is set to ramp up this year, according to the official. Infrastructure will play a key role in that program.
Biden Campaign Manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez said in an emailed statement that she is "thrilled" that Landrieu is joining the campaign organization. She praised Landrieu's work on infrastructure, saying the issue is "critical to our re-election effort."
