Sen. Coons on Dr. Lisa Cook's nomination to Federal Reserve Board of Governors

Press Release

Today, U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) issued the following statement after President Biden's announcement that he would nominate Dr. Lisa D. Cook to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve:

"Since we first met nearly thirty years ago, I've always known Lisa Cook to be a brilliant thinker, an experienced economist, a committed and capable public servant, and a kind friend. She's recognized as one of our nation's finest economists, and whether here at home teaching at Michigan State University and serving at the White House Council of Economic Advisers or abroad while advising the Nigerian and Rwandan governments, she has proven herself to be a valuable voice guiding economic policy with an especially strong background in macroeconomics, the economics of innovation, and the experience of women and African Americans. I congratulate President Biden on his excellent choice of nominee, and I encourage my Senate colleagues to ensure Professor Cook's nomination is smooth and swift."
