Bio For The Honorable Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr.
Press Release
by CEI Staff
May 22, 2002
Confirmed by the United States Senate on January 23, 2001, the Honorable
Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. joined President George W. Bush’s Cabinet as a member
who combines Main Street experience and Pennsylvania Avenue credentials.
Prior to joining the President’s Cabinet, Daniels enjoyed a successful tenure at
the pharmaceutical firm Eli Lilly & Co. as the senior vice president of
corporate strategy and policy in 1997. As a top executive, Daniels ensured that
Lilly had the flexibility necessary to remain a leader in its constantly
evolving field. Daniels also has advised firms ranging from Indiana National
Bank to IPALCO Enterprises, Inc.
Daniels, however, is no newcomer to Washington. He served at the right hand of
Indiana Senator Richard Lugar and as a top aide to President Ronald Reagan. In
1988, Daniels was considered a likely successor to fill the seat of Indiana
Senator Dan Quayle. Instead, Daniels chose to remain in Indiana as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Indianapolis-based Hudson Institute. Daniels is
the first Indiana Cabinet member since Doc Bowen, Secretary of Health and Human
Services under President Reagan.
Daniels has proved a key contributor to the President’s vision for renewing
America. Helping shape the historic tax relief bill President Bush signed into
law last June, Daniels was also influential in designing the economic and fiscal
response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. Among other things, he
oversaw the formulation and implementation of the airline rescue package.
Currently, Daniels sits on the Homeland Security and National Security Councils.
Throughout his career, Daniels has remembered the importance of family and
community. While at Lilly, he co-founded the Oaks Academy, a non-denominational
Christian school for inner-city youth. Daniels has been active in various
charities including Goodwill Industries, Choice Charitable Trust, and the Fund
for Hoosier Excellence.
Mitch and his wife Cheri have four daughters.
