President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Sunday announced members of the incoming administration's communications staff. For the first time in U.S. history, the staff will be comprised entirely of women.
Jen Psaki will serve as White House press secretary, Mr. Biden and Harris announced. Psaki had previously served as White House communications director and deputy White House press secretary during the Obama-Biden administration.
Kate Bedingfield, who served as deputy campaign manager and communications director for the Biden-Harris campaign will serve as White House communications director. Bedingfield is also a communications veteran from the Obama-Biden administration.
Bedingfield tweeted Sunday that she is "unspeakably proud" to take on the role of communications director.
Working for him as VP and on this campaign gave me insight into what kind of capable, compassionate, clear-eyed president he will be and it will be a profound honor to be one small part of his work. It will also be an honor to work alongside the incredible women who are taking on these roles together," Bedingfield tweeted.
Biden campaign senior adviser Symone Sanders will take on the role of senior adviser and spokesperson for Harris. Sanders previously worked as press secretary for Bernie Sanders during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Elizabeth Alexander, another Biden-Harris campaign senior advisor, will become the communications director for first lady Jill Biden. Alexander previously served as Mr. Biden's press secretary while he was vice president.
Former communications director for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Ashley Etienne, will become Harris' communications director. Pelosi said Sunday called Etienne a "seasoned communicator" and congratulated her.
"Her experience working on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue and the immense respect she commands among both Members and staff will make her a powerful force in the Biden-Harris Administration," Pelosi said in a statement.
Karine Jean Pierre, Harris' chief of staff during the campaign, will take on the role of principle deputy press secretary. Pili Tobar was announced as deputy White House communications director. Tobar previously worked as deputy director for America's Voice and Hispanic media director for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
"These qualified, experienced communicators bring diverse perspectives to their work and a shared commitment to building this country back better," Mr. Biden said in a statement.
Harris added that to overcome to challenges the country faces, "we need to communicate clearly, honestly, and transparently with the American people, and this experienced, talented, and barrier-shattering team will help us do that."

When President Obama first took office, the White House wasn’t exactly the friendliest place for female staffers. Most of Obama’s senior staffers — such as former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and former economic adviser Lawrence Summers — were men who’d worked on his campaign and subsequently filled his cabinet.
“If you didn’t come in from the campaign, it was a tough circle to break into,” Anita Dunn, who served as White House communications director until November 2009, told the Washington Post . “Given the makeup of the campaign, there were just more men than women.”
Susan Rice, who’s currently the national security adviser, said she (and other women) had to shoulder their way into important conversations: “It’s not pleasant to have to appeal to a man to say, ‘Include me in that meeting.’”
And even when they’d made it into the room, female staffers were sometimes overlooked. So they banded together ( shine theory! ) and came up with a system to make sure they were heard:
As the Post points out, things have gotten much better for female staffers in Obama’s second term. There’s an even gender split among his top aides, and half of all White House departments are headed by women. “I think having a critical mass makes a difference,” White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said. “It’s fair to say that there was a lot of testosterone flowing in those early days. Now we have a little more estrogen that provides a counterbalance.”

Google has agreed to pay $118 million to more than 15,500 employees to settle a longstanding lawsuit over gender discrimination and equitable pay, court documents show .
The settlement covers female employees in 236 job titles in California since September 14, 2013, the plaintiffs' legal firms Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein and Altshuler Berzon said in a press release .
The employees worked across several levels and divisions, with the average compensation amounting to about $7,600.
The agreement follows a lawsuit filed in September 2017 by former employees Kelly Ellis, Holly Pease, Kelli Wisuri, and Heidi Lamar.
The initial filing said Larmer, a preschool teacher at Google's children center, was paid $18.51 an hour, while a male counterpart with fewer qualifications and less experience received $21 an hour.
Google was accused last year of paying its female employees $17,000 a year less than male staff doing the same job as part of the ongoing lawsuit. They were originally seeking $600 million in damages.
According to the filing, the settlement provides that an independent industrial organizational psychologist will analyze Google's hiring practices and pay equity.
Ellis, who was a software engineer at Google's Mountain View headquarters for about four years, said she hoped the agreement would mark a turning point in its practices.
Pease in a statement : "As a woman who's spent her entire career in the tech industry, I'm optimistic that the actions Google has agreed to take as part of this settlement will ensure more equity for women. Google, since its founding, has led the tech industry. They also have an opportunity to lead the charge to ensure inclusion and equity for women in tech."
A spokesperson for Google told Insider: "While we strongly believe in the equity of our policies and practices, after nearly five years of litigation, both sides agreed that resolution of the matter, without any admission or findings, was in the best interest of everyone, and we're very pleased to reach this agreement."
"We are absolutely committed to paying, hiring and leveling all employees fairly and equally and for the past nine years we have run a rigorous pay equity analysis to make sure salaries, bonuses and eq
