Who is Denis McDonough’s wife Kari?
DENIS McDonough, who formerly worked under the Obama administration as the Deputy National Security Adviser, is married to Kari McDonough.
It was announced late last year that Denis would rejoin the White House as the head of the Department of Veterans Affairs for President Joe Biden.
In 2017, she published an article on the Huffington Post titled "What Our Kids Have Learned About Public Service," after Denis McDonough finished his time working under Obama's administration.
"We met just a small number of the more than 4 million permanent employees in the federal government and I’m not naïve to think that every employee is extraordinary," she wrote.
"But those we did meet – and they were many, from all walks of life – are remarkable public servants. Several, in fact, have served as role models for our children."
"Our kids experienced a core part of what makes this country strong: a federal government made up not just of institutions, but of people who make the institutions work."
What is Denis McDonough's new role?
Biden's pick to serve as his leader of the Department of Veterans Affairs is Denis McDonough, he said on December 10.
He was the White House chief of staff during Obama's second term in office.
McDonough has also served as Deputy National Security Advisor from 2010 to 2013 and as Chief of Staff of the National Security Council from 2009 to 2010.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is responsible for providing vital services to America's veterans.
