The Public Record
Jerome Powell is the 16th Chair of the Federal Reserve, having been appointed to the position in February 2018. He is a member of the Republican Party and has played a significant role in shaping U.S. monetary policy during his tenure. Powell's leadership has been marked by efforts to navigate the economy through challenges such as inflation and employment fluctuations, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. He has emphasized the importance of balancing the pace of monetary policy adjustments to avoid both inflationary pressures and job losses in the labor market.

I was deeply involved in addressing these serial crises and in the major legislation that followed.
