(54,657 posts)2. I've been a fan of Neera since 2016.
She is smart and experienced and I wrote her a letter in 2016 asking about what she knows about tRump and the Russian connection, our future as a country, etc. I've written to many people involved with politics in my lifetime but she was the only one who actually wrote back to me specifically and not a typical copied letter.
She gets two thumbs up from me just for that!

you back.
I've also respected her since 2016. And in 2020 Neera Tandem was nominated by Pres Biden for Director of OMB.
But the Senate Couldn't handle it.
Which gave her more Creds in my view.
