Biden's pick to lead GSA: 'We can't implement government policy if we can't get the damn websites to work'

President Joe Biden's pick to lead the General Services Administration said on Thursday that her top focuses if confirmed will include enhancing cyber posture, building out a secure digital infrastructure for the agency and making its services more user friendly for taxpayers, agency partners and industry alike.
Robin Carnahan, who has been nominated to serve as GSA director, told lawmakers during her confirmation hearing that the past year and coronavirus pandemic have "shown the importance and fragility of our nation's digital infrastructure," while noting that "far too often" critical resources and assistance for vulnerable families and businesses faced delays and setbacks, even when Congress responded quickly to the crisis by passing legislative relief.
