Biden names former DNC chair Perez as senior White House adviser

President Biden tapped former Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez on Monday to function a senior White House adviser.

Mr. Perez, a former labor secretary within the Obama administration, is changing Julie Chavez Rodriquez, who left the White House to run the president’s reelection marketing campaign.

In an announcement, the president mentioned Mr. Perez “brings decades of experience to my team, having served in local, state and federal government.”

“His perspective and relationships as a former county councilman, a top civil rights attorney, and Secretary of Labor will be invaluable as we implement our Invest in America agenda and continue to make our government work for the people and for communities across the country,” Mr. Biden mentioned.
