Joshua Varcie
Biography
Josh was born and raised in Commerce Township, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Before attending Princeton, he worked as an Assistant Analyst in the Health Analysis Division of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), where he contributed to analyses on prescription drugs, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and long-term care. Prior to the CBO, Josh traveled the country campaigning for Joe Biden in five states during the 2020 presidential election. Josh is equally passionate about politics as he is about Detroit Lions football and can be found many Sundays rooting for his (suddenly good!) hometown team. He also plays the French horn and looks forward to exploring the biking trails near Princeton's campus. After Princeton SPIA, Josh hopes to serve in a role where he can use data and programming tools to solve pressing healthcare policy challenges, particularly at the federal level.
