WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) issued the following statement today after the Senate voted to confirm Dr. Lisa D. Cook to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve:
“In the three decades that I’ve known Dr. Lisa Cook—first as fellow Truman Scholars—I’ve admired her brilliant mind, her passion for public service, and her broad range of professional experience, from teaching at Michigan State University to advising world leaders at home and abroad on their economic policies.
“Lisa has built world-class expertise in economics, innovation, and banking, and she understands not just abstract economic theory but how those theories impact Americans and their families in all walks of life. I’m glad that the Senate has finally confirmed such a well-qualified nominee to this critical role for the U.S. and global economy. I look forward to voting for President Biden’s remaining nominees as they come to the floor to ensure that our government can work at full capacity to best serve the American people.”
