WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) spoke on the Senate floor last week in support of Kansan Michelle “Miki” Bowman, who was nominated by President Trump to be the Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve for Supervision. Last week the Senate Committee on Banking voted to advance her nomination.

“When President Trump chose Miki to serve as the community bank representative on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, it was clear that she was the right choice to give small lenders in rural communities a voice at the Fed,” said Sen. Moran. “With immense experience working in and supervising community banks, I’m confident Miki will continue to be a champion for community banks and the people they serve.”

“Not only do I trust Miki’s professional experience, but I’ve come to know her as an independent, forthright and intelligent and quality individual with a demonstrated record of service to her state and nation,” continued Sen. Moran. “Miki will make an excellent Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision. I look forward to voting to confirm her nomination here in the full Senate, and I urge my colleagues to support her nomination.”

Bowman is a native of Council Grove, Kansas, and a graduate of the University of Kansas and Washburn Law School. Bowman was the Vice President of Farmers and Drovers Bank in Council Grove and served as the Kansas Bank Commissioner where she was responsible for overseeing hundreds of state-chartered banks, trust companies and money transmitters. In 2018, President Trump nominated Bowman to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.
