Blair Elliott

Blair is the Health Policy Advisor for Third Way’s Economic program. In her role, she develops and advances ideas that will lower health care costs and make accessing quality care easier for Americans. She is particularly interested in efforts to maintain historically low uninsured rates and prevent the accumulation of medical debt. 

Before joining the Third Way team, Blair served as a health policy advisor at the White House Domestic Policy Council in the Biden-Harris Administration. Blair covered a variety of work on health care coverage and costs; led her team’s climate and environmental health portfolios; and drove work to reduce medical debt burden, protect workers from workplace health hazards, and strengthen Affordable Care Act coverage.

Prior to her time at the White House, Blair also spent time as a fellow with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s legislative affairs team and as an intern in the district office of Congressman Jim Clyburn. She is originally from Marietta, GA and earned a degree in Environmental and Marine Policy from the University of South Carolina. In her free time, Blair enjoys traveling, trying local coffee shops, and watching South Carolina sports.
