Samuel Slater was a donor to the Biden campaign.
He was just nominated to a key Washington, D.C.-area transportation board.
This is the second time he was nominated, the first time it was stalled.
President Biden’s nominee for a key Washington, D.C.-area transportation board is a billionaire Biden campaign donor and bundler who flies frequently on a private jet and co-owns a professional sports franchise.
Biden first nominated Samuel Slater to serve on the board of directors of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) shortly after taking office in 2021, but he was forced to renominate him this year after his nomination was stalled in the Senate Commerce Committee. The MWAA is mainly tasked with overseeing the operations of Reagan National and Dulles International, the region’s two central airports.
“I am excited about this opportunity to serve and believe the depth of my private sector experience will be a benefit to the Authority,” Slater remarked during his confirmation hearing in November. “In addition to safety, MWAA’s primary objectives are to plan, provide and actively manage world-class facilities and access to the global aviation system in a way that anticipates and serves the needs of the National Capital region.”
“The diversity of my professional experiences requires me to be similarly focused on consumer needs and desires, from the needs of residential, commercial and retail tenants, to the public consumer experience within sport, media and live entertainment,” he continued. “Throughout these activities, I continually engage with the end-user perspective and study how to improve customer enjoyment and satisfaction with a service.”
