On Brian Johnson’s Nomination to Lead the CFPB
The American Financial Services Association (AFSA) welcomes the nomination of Brian Johnson to serve as Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Mr. Johnson brings deep and directly relevant experience to the role. He previously served as Deputy Director of the CFPB, where he oversaw the agency’s rulemaking, supervision, and enforcement activities, and helped establish initiatives including the Office of Innovation and the Taskforce on Federal Consumer Financial Law. He previously held senior positions on the House Committee on Financial Services, where his work spanned consumer protection and credit, mortgage origination, credit reporting, banking, and data security. His work in the private sector has included stints with Patomak Global Partners, a regulatory and compliance consulting firm and law firm Alston & Bird.
With this deep and varied experience, Mr. Johnson understands the consumer credit marketplace and the importance of clear, consistent regulation that protects consumers while preserving access to credit. AFSA looks forward to working with him and his team, and we urge the Senate to give his nomination prompt and careful consideration.
