Mitchell Elias Daniels Jr. is an American former Big Pharma executive and politician. A Republican, he was governor of Indiana from 2005 to 2013. He attended the 2012 Bilderberg meeting when being assessed as potential candidate for the 2012 presidential election.
Background
His father was a Big Pharma executive at at the company Pitman-Moore.
Education
In 1971, Daniels took a Bachelor's degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.
Career
Daniels began his career as an assistant to senator Richard Lugar, working as his chief of staff in the Senate from 1977 to 1982. He was appointed executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee when Lugar was chairman from 1983 to 1984. He worked as a chief political advisor and as a liaison to President Ronald Reagan in 1985. He then moved back to Indiana to become president of the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank.
He later joined Eli Lilly and Company where he worked as president of North American Pharmaceutical Operations from 1993 to 1997 and as senior vice president of corporate strategy and policy from 1997 to 2001.
In January 2001, Daniels was appointed by President George W. Bush as the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, where he worked until June 2003.
Following 9/11, Congress passed legislation authorizing the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Just before the legislation was signed by Bush, Republican lawmakers inserted language into the bill that authorized protection from liability corporations that manufactured thimerosal, a controversial vaccine preservative that has been the subject of multiple lawsuits.[1] Eli Lilly was once the largest maker of thimerosal and is a major target of the lawsuits.[2] Daniels was the budget director at the time of the bill's passing.[3][4]
Daniels ran in Indiana's 2004 gubernatorial election after leaving the Bush administration. He won the Republican primary with 67% of the vote and defeated Democratic incumbent Governor Joe Kernan in the general election. In 2008, Daniels was reelected to a second term, defeating Jill Long Thompson.[5] In his second term, Daniels saw protest by labor unions and Democrats in the state legislature over Indiana's school voucher program, privatization of public highways, and the attempt to pass anti-union legislation, leading to the 2011 Indiana legislative walkouts. During the legislature's last session under Daniels, he signed a 'right-to-work law', with Indiana becoming the 23rd state in the nation to pass such legislation.[6]
It was widely speculated that Daniels would be a candidate in the 2012 presidential election[7][8] [9] but he chose not to run.[10]
Shortly after, a search committee, composed mostly of Purdue faculty and administrators recommended Daniels to become the university's 12th president after his term as governor ended on January 14, 2013. Ultimately, the hiring decision was made by the Trustees of the Board of Purdue University, all of whom Daniels appointed or re-appointed while Governor.[11] He retired as Purdue president on January 1, 2023.
