Diane Black
Board President
Co-founder & Chairman of the Board of Second Vote.
Congresswoman Black’s faith in America’s promise was shaped from an early age. The middle daughter of Great Depression-era parents, Diane spent the earliest years of her life in public housing and would go on to become the first person in her family to earn a college education.

In Congress, Diane served as Chairman of the House Budget Committee, where she worked to draft the 2018 fiscal year budget that cut millions of dollars in wasteful spending and confronted the crippling debt burden in Washington. Diane also served on the House Ways and Means Committee and led efforts to reform the U.S. tax code for the first time in over three decades.
