He formerly lead the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the Biden administration from 2021-2023.[1][2][3] He joined the Biden Administration from Demos, a liberal think tank he served as president of from 2018 to 2021.[4]

Education

Rahman studied at Harvard University, where he received his bachelor's degree (B.A.), Juris Doctor (J.D.), and Ph.D degree in political theory. Additionally, he attended the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, where he studied both law and economic development.[5][6]

Career

During his career, he has held fellowships at both New America and the Roosevelt Institute, and notably served as co-chair of the Law and Political Economy (LPE) Project. Rahman once served as an analyst within OIRA during the Obama Administration, and would return to the office as a Senior Counselor under President Joe Biden.[1] In New York City, he served as a special advisor for economic development from 2014 to 2015 and has also served on the city's Rent Guidelines Board.[5]

Rahman served as an associate professor of law at Brooklyn Law School from 2015 to 2019, and is currently on leave from the institution.[7] The bulk of Rahman's work has focused on regulatory and administrative law, taking a neorepublican perspective on power and participatory democracy inspired by the work of John Dewey and Louis Brandeis.[8][9]
