Last week, the senate confirmed President Trump’s nominee Michelle Bowman to serve a full 14-year term on the seven-member federal reserve board. Bowman is a graduate of the university of Kansas and Washburn university school of law. She 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 January 31st. Trump, who has been highly critical of the fed over the past year, re-nominated 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. She spent part of her childhood in Kansas and graduated from high school in council grove. The fed board still has two other vacancies.
