Senate approves Trump nominee Bowman for Federal Reserve

[Eugene]

Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Thursday confirmed President Donald Trump’s nominee Michelle Bowman to serve a full 14-year term on the seven-member Federal Reserve board.

Bowman was approved on a 60-31 vote, winning the support of 49 Republicans and 11 Democrats. Only one Republican, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, joined Democrats voting no.

Bowman has held a spot on the Fed board designated for a community banker since November 2018, filling a vacancy on the panel that had a term ending on Jan. 31. Trump, who has been highly critical of the Fed over the past year, renominated her for a full 14-year term.

Before joining the Fed, Bowman served as state bank commissioner of Kansas and had been an executive of a community bank in the state.
