Amanda Andrea Renteria (born November 15, 1974) is the current CEO of Code for America.

Contents

Under Renteria's leadership, Code for America was awarded $100M in coordinated commitments through The Audacious Project and Blue Meridian Partners to modernize social safety net infrastructure. [1] Renteria announced the project at TED in 2022. [2]

Renteria served as a member of President Biden’s Advisory Commission on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics and serves on the Treasury Advisory Commission on Racial Equity. She is also a paid contributor to the BBC and ABC News on policy and political matters in the United States. [3] [4]

Renteria is recognized for her role as the National Political Director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign [5] and her service as the Chief of Operations for California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. Renteria also made history as the first Latina Chief of Staff in the U.S. Senate working for United States Senators Dianne Feinstein and Debbie Stabenow. [6] Renteria has twice run for public office. [7]

Code for America

Renteria was named CEO of Code for America on May 1, 2020.  "Amanda will lead Code for America at a moment when the need to transform government could not be clearer,” said Code for America board chair John Lilly. [8] Renteria’s vision was for Code for America to continue to focus on human-centered design that puts the needs of users — members of the country’s most vulnerable communities — at the center of all they create. [9]

During COVID-19 pandemic, Renteria focused Code for America’s efforts on several emergency initiatives that helped families access food and resources across the country. One of their most recognizable efforts was partnering with the Administration and VITA to build a simple, bilingual online tax filing tool to help low income families access their tax benefits, which included 2020 stimulus checks, Earned Income Tax Credits, and the Advanced Child Tax Credit. “Using the Get Your Refund website or mobile app, filers can verify their identities and upload tax documents, then talk to a volunteer who will prepare their return, all without meeting with someone in person.” [10] [11]

In April, 2022, Renteria announced that Code for America had been added to the Audacious Project in order to transform the US benefits system to bring user-centric and digital-first social services to more than 13 million Americans. [12] “There are unseen heroes in government working directly with people every day, navigating old systems,” Renteria said in a press release. “We can and must equip them with the kind of tools and data they need to streamline their efforts and create a truly human-centered safety net that meets the needs of millions of people in America.” [13]

In October, 2023, the first collective bargaining agreement was signed. “Today’s agreement marks a truly historic moment for Code for America, the civic tech community, and the entire nonprofit sector,” said Renteria. [14]

2014 congressional candidacy

Renteria ran for Congress in California's 21st congressional district. On announcing her candidacy, she stated, "I'm running because I grew up here, and I believe the Valley needs a strong voice in Washington. We have to have folks who know how to work across the aisle, and who know how to be effective." [15] Republican David Valadao holds the seat. In the June 3 primary, Renteria received 11,682 votes and about 25.6% overall, ahead of fellow Democrat John Hernandez, but fell nearly 40% behind Valadao, thus becoming the Democratic nominee. [16] At the time of the primary, Cook Political Report considered the seat to be “likely Republican.” [17]

On July 20, 2014, both Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and representative Nancy Pelosi held a fundraiser to support Renteria's candidacy. [18] President Barack Obama also appeared at a fundraiser with Renteria, calling her one of “two outstanding candidates and part of what it is that we’re just trying to build here and across the country." According to the Fresno Bee , the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reserved $1 million for ads in September in her district. [19] On October 7 Vice President Joe Biden spoke at a fundraiser for Renteria. [20] [21]

On the Affordable Care Act, The Hill reported Renteria as saying that “something needed to be done at the time and that she opposes repealing the law now.” [22]

In October 2014, Roll Call reported that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced plans to cut campaign ads in the final two weeks of the campaign, "a signal the party does not see a path to victory for these candidates or races." [23]

In the November 4 general election, Renteria lost to Valadao by an almost 58% to 42% margin. [24]

2016 Clinton campaign

Renteria was hired to fill the position of political director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign [25]

Hillary Clinton email investigation

In early March 2016, hackers working with Dutch intelligence had reportedly provided a highly classified Russian government document to the FBI. [26] The document, which had "possible translation issues," had purportedly contained a memorialization of an alleged conversation between Renteria and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch. [27] [28] One of the allegations within the document said that Renteria had been assured that "Lynch would keep the Clinton investigation from going too far." [29] [30] [31] Although the FBI determined that the document was not credible, then-FBI Director James Comey said it was "one of the bricks in the load" that led to his decision to not consult with the Department of Justice before closing the investigation. [31] [32] [33]

2018 gubernatorial campaign

On February 20, 2018, Renteria announced her candidacy in the 2018 California gubernatorial election. [34] Renteria finished seventh out of 27 candidates on the ballot in California's unique "top-two primary"; she received 86,287 votes, for 1.3% of the vote. Renteria finished behind Democratic candidates Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom (who advanced to the runoff with 33.5% of the vote), former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (13.2%), State Treasurer John Chiang (9.5%) and former Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine Eastin (3.3%). She also finished behind Republicans John H. Cox (who advanced to the runoff against Newsom with 25.7% of the vote) and State Assemblyman Travis Allen (9.5%).

Early career

After college, Renteria became a financial analyst for Goldman Sachs. She decided to move to the public sector to "make a difference," working for one year as a math teacher at her former high school in Woodlake and helping San Jose with a neighborhood revitalization initiative, before going to Harvard Business School. [35] [36]

Renteria became a member of Senator Dianne Feinstein's staff in 2005. She later took a job with Senator and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow as a legislative aid on economic issues. She was promoted to legislative director, and became Stabenow's chief of staff in 2008. [36] Renteria was the first Latina chief of staff in Senate history. [37]

In 2013, Renteria was considered for the role of chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, but withdrew her name from consideration. [38] According to Reuters, “Washington policy-watchers widely assumed that Renteria would get the job, but last-minute questions about her perceived lack of experience got in the way.” [39] Politico noted that “financial reform advocates reacted with shock to reports that the White House was considering her for the position.” [40]

In August 2013, Renteria moved back to California, where she briefly worked as a substitute teacher before announcing her congressional candidacy. [15]

Personal life and education

Renteria's father emigrated from Mexico in the 1960s, settling in Woodlake, California; her mother was born in the United States. [35] The second of three daughters, Renteria double-majored in economics and political science at Stanford University, writing her senior honors thesis on women in politics. [36] She played basketball and softball [41] for the Stanford Cardinal. She also earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. [42] Renteria lives in California, with her husband Patrick Brannelly, a managing director for a non-profit focused on brain-related diseases, and two children. [35] [15]

Bush's victory in the presidential election, the Republicans lost four senate seats, the most a winning president's party has lost since the passage of the 17th Amendment. This election marked the first election year since 1990 where Democrats made net gains in the Senate. Democrats defeated incumbent Republicans in Delaware, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Washington, and they won an open Republican-held seat in Florida. In Missouri, the winner was elected posthumously. The Republicans defeated Democratic incumbent Chuck Robb in Virginia, and won an open seat in Nevada. Additionally, Republican Senator Paul Coverdell of Georgia died earlier in the year and was replaced by Democratic appointee Zell Miller, who then went on to win the special election.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign</span> American political campaign

In 2016, Hillary Clinton ran unsuccessfully for president of the United States. Clinton ran as the Democratic Party's candidate for president, in which she became the first woman to win a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party. Prior to running, Clinton served as the United States secretary of state in the administration of Barack Obama from 2009 to 2013, a U.S. senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and the first lady of the United States, as the wife of Bill Clinton, from 1993 to 2001. She was defeated in the general election by the Republican candidate, businessman Donald Trump.

During her tenure as United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton drew controversy by using a private email server for official public communications rather than using official State Department email accounts maintained on federal servers. After a years-long FBI investigation, it was determined that Clinton's server did not contain any information or emails that were clearly marked classified. Federal agencies did, however, retrospectively determine that 100 emails contained information that should have been deemed classified at the time they were sent, including 65 emails deemed "Secret" and 22 deemed "Top Secret". An additional 2,093 emails were retroactively designated confidential by the State Department. "From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification." "Separately, it is important to say something about the marking of classified information. Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections</span>

The Russian government conducted foreign electoral interference in the 2016 United States elections with the goals of sabotaging the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, boosting the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, and increasing political and social discord in the United States. According to the U.S. intelligence community, the operation—code named Project Lakhta—was ordered directly by Russian president Vladimir Putin. The "hacking and disinformation campaign" to damage Clinton and help Trump became the "core of the scandal known as Russiagate". The 448-page Mueller Report, made public in April 2019, examined over 200 contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials but concluded that there was insufficient evidence to bring any conspiracy or coordination charges against Trump or his associates.

The 2018 election for California's 21st congressional district was held on November 6, 2018, during the 2018 elections to the U.S. House of Representatives to determine who would represent California's 21st congressional district. The district, centered in the San Joaquin Valley, represents parts of Fresno County, Kern County, Kings County and Tulare County. It was represented by the incumbent, Republican David Valadao, since 2013.

Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for the counterintelligence investigation undertaken by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from July 31, 2016, to May 17, 2017, into links between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia and "whether individuals associated with [Trump's] presidential campaign were coordinating, wittingly or unwittingly, with the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election". Trump was not personally under investigation until May 2017, when his firing of FBI director James Comey raised suspicions of obstruction of justice, which triggered the Mueller investigation.
