Maya MacGuineas (born in February 21, 1968 in Washington, DC) is the President of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a bipartisan, non-profit organization in the United States committed to educating the public about issues that have significant fiscal policy impact. A native Washingtonian, she obtained a Master in Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

Background

Education

Born in Washington in 1968 to D. Biard MacGuineas and Carol Kalish.[2] She graduated from Northwestern University, where she majored in economics and psychology, and she received a master's degree in Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.[3]

Professional career

MacGuineas has run the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget since 2003, and works mainly on issues related to fiscal, tax, economic, and retirement policy. Senator Mark Warner called her "a trusted intermediary"[4] as she has worked with Democratic and Republican lawmakers.[5] She has also been called "an obsessively nonpartisan, data-driven, well-connected champion of...fiscal responsibility."[6]

She has also published a number of articles, including in The Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Financial Times and the Los Angeles Times. Once dubbed "an anti-deficit warrior" by The Wall Street Journal[7] and "queen of the deficit scolds" by economist Paul Krugman,[8] MacGuineas has appeared on broadcast news and is often cited by the national press. She also is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal 'Think Tank' feature.

MacGuineas also served on The Washington Post editorial board in the Spring of 2009, where she covered economic and fiscal policy and wrote extensively on the health care reform debate.

She was the Director of the Fiscal Policy Program at the New America Foundation—a nonpartisan think tank based in Washington, DC.[9]

Before joining the New America Foundation,[10] MacGuineas worked at the Brookings Institution, the Concord Coalition, and on Wall Street. She has also advised numerous candidates for office from both parties, and works regularly with members of United States Congress on health, economic, tax, and budget policy.

MacGuineas served as a member of the Debt Reduction Task Force[11] at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
