With acting director Mick Mulvaney’s tenure at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau scheduled to end, by statute, on June 22, the White House this weekend nominated Kathy Kraninger, his subordinate at the Office and Budget Management, to take over. Mulvaney also serves as OMB director.
Kraninger, 43, previously worked for the Department of Homeland Security and for the Senate Appropriations Committee’s Homeland Security Subcommittee. A native of Pittsburgh, she is a graduate of Marquette University and Georgetown Law School.
