WASHINGTON, DC, May 9, 2025 – David M. Dworkin, President and CEO of the National Housing Conference (NHC), released the following statement in response to President Trump’s intention to nominate Jonathan McKernan as the Treasury Department’s head of domestic finance:
“Jonathan McKernan will make a fantastic Undersecretary for Domestic Finance. It’s one of the most important roles in the financial subcabinet—if not the most important. McKernan brings a wealth of experience in housing finance and financial regulation, and his thoughtful and principled approach will serve the Treasury exceptionally well. CFPB’s loss is certainly a win for the Treasury Department.”
