NEWS RELEASEBIDEN: ALAN HOFFMAN RETURNS AS CHIEF OF STAFFPosted: July 26, 2006 U.S. Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. announced that Alan L. Hoffman, his chief of staff from 1998 to 2003, will return to that post, overseeing legislation, operations and personnel in the senator’s Washington and Delaware offices. “I could not be more pleased that Alan has decided to rejoin my staff,” Biden said. “Alan was not just my chief of staff for five years, he was a close adviser, and I considered him part of the family. He is a good friend, an excellent manager and a consummate professional. I have no doubt that he will hit the ground sprinting.” Hoffman succeeds Danny O’Brien, who left the Senate staff to work full time as executive director for Biden’s political action committee, Unite Our States. Before rejoining Biden’s staff, Hoffman was vice president of external affairs for the RAND Corporation, the non-profit think tank based in Santa Monica, Calif. Prior to that position and immediately after leaving the Senate in 2003, Hoffman served as vice president of Timmons & Co., a government relations firm in Washington. In the late 1990s, Hoffman was an assistant U.S. attorney in Pennsylvania, where he handled criminal prosecutions in such areas as white-collar crime, economic espionage and drugs. Before that, he was special counsel to the assistant attorney general at the Justice Department in Washington and special assistant to the assistant secretary for legislative affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services, where he specialized in health care reform. A native of Philadelphia, Hoffman is a graduate of Lafayette College and received a masters in public administration and a law degree from the University of Southern California. ### |
