In an unusual weekend announcement, on Saturday a White House spokesperson revealed that President Trump has selected Kathy Kraninger, an associate director at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Mick Mulvaney, as his nominee to lead the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. Kraninger was on nobody's reported short list... or at least if she was, it was an extremely well-guarded secret.
According to Kraninger's Linkedin profile, she graduated in 1997 from Marquette University, and in 2007 from Georgetown University Law Center. She has been at OMB since March 2017. In the ensuing years she served as deputy assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Homeland Security, and also worked at the Transportation Department.
