President Trump is nominating Kirstjen Nielsen to be the next homeland security secretary, the White House announced Wednesday.
Nielsen would succeed now-White House chief of staff John Kelly in the position if confirmed by the Senate. She currently serves as Kelly's principal deputy chief of staff and was also his chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security.
Nielsen is an attorney who has experience in homeland security and cybersecurity, having served on the White House Homeland Security Council under President George W. Bush. She also created and managed the office of Legislative Policy and Government Affairs at the Transportation Security Administration. She's the first nominee to lead DHS to have previously worked there. Before she worked in the Trump administration, Nielsen founded a risk and security management consulting firm.
