Remy is expected to be sworn into the post in coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remy will be only the second Black veteran ever to serve in the VA deputy secretary role. In recent weeks, Secretary Denis McDonough has actively lobbied lawmakers to finish his confirmation process, pointing to the department\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/2021\/07\/14\/va-scraps-rollout-schedule-of-controversial-new-electronic-medical-records-project\/\" target=\"_blank\">electronic medical records modernization project<\/a> in particular as an issue he will help lead in coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/06\/15\/senator-vows-to-hold-up-va-leadership-nominees-until-department-provides-info-on-toxic-exposures-bill\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21159623115878.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Senator vows to hold up VA leadership nominees until department provides info on toxic exposures bill<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn said she won&#039;t allow the leadership posts to be filled until the department answers questions about other legislation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite facing no opposition in the Senate Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee, Remy\u2019s nomination has been stalled since late May after Sen. Marcia Blackburn, R-Tenn., placed a hold over what she initially said were concerns that VA leaders were too slow to provide information on a potential toxic exposures measure under consideration in Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, Blackburn said she continued to oppose Remy\u2019s nomination, but cited his time at NCAA as the reason for her objections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m very concerned about Donald Remy and the way he conducted himself at the NCAA,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I do not want that to happen to our nation\u2019s veterans. They deserve better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2009, Remy was selected by President Barack Obama to serve as general counsel for the Army, but was forced to withdraw his nomination after failing to include his Fannie Mae experience on official government forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He joined the NCAA a few years later, where he has held a variety of roles, including chief legal officer. That has put him at the center of a number of widely publicized legal fights for the sports association, including whether college athletes should receive more compensation for their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously against NCAA\u2019s restrictions on athletes earning money during their college playing careers. Blackburn said that decision raised questions about his qualifications to serve in the department\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remy has received some public criticism for his role in defending those policies in recent years but faced no questions on the issue during his May confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee Chairman Jon Tester, D-Mont., has repeatedly defended Remy as a qualified pick for the VA post and blasted Blackburn\u2019s opposition as \u201cpolitical games\u201d that undermine efforts to reform the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/veterans\/2021\/04\/23\/ncaa-official-nominated-for-va-deputy-secretary-post\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP16139673575473.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">NCAA leader nominated for VA deputy secretary post<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Donald Remy, an Army veteran and chief operating officer for the sports league, was picked to serve as the second-highest official in VA.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remy is a graduate of Louisiana State University and Howard University School of Law, and spent four years in the Army. During his time in service, he served as assistant to the Army General Counsel, handling a host of legal and policy issues. He later worked as deputy assistant attorney general at the Justice Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is also the first Senate-confirmed holder of the deputy secretary post in more than a year. Carolyn Clancy has been serving in the role in an acting capacity since the start of Joe Biden\u2019s presidency. The last Senate-confirmed deputy was James Byrne, who was fired by then Secretary Robert Wilkie in February 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Remy&#8217;s confirmation
