After working as an assistant U.S. attorney in Virginia and Seattle, Tandy took a job at the Justice Department national office in Washington in 1990.

In the Justice Department, Tandy was a pioneer in the enforcement of asset forfeiture law â?? a government tactic used to deprive drug merchants of material gain by seizing planes, boats, ranches and more exotic possessions such as strip clubs and golf courses bought with drug cash.

By 1993, she was running the narcotics office at Justice, which put her on the path to being appointed by President Bush to head the DEA in 2003.

With her background in asset forfeiture, Tandy has focused on going after the money of drug pushers.

"When I came through the door, I made money the No. 1 priority," she said.
