WASHINGTON—While the overall agenda in Washington remains focused on trillions of dollars in federal spending being primarily debated by the Biden Administration and congressional agenda, the credit union agenda in the capital is relatively light, focused largely on nominations for several positions on Capitol Hill, including Alanna McCargo’s role as president of Ginnie Mae.
“The Senate will convene today and begin considering the nomination of Eugene Meyer as general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security,” said CUNA Chief Advocacy Officer Ryan Donovan. “Thursday the Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on several pending nominations, including the nomination of Alanna McCargo to be the president of Ginnie Mae.”
Donovan noted the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday will also consider a number of pending nominations—most of them at the Department of Treasury.
