With more than ten years of government service, Mick Mulvaney has been at the forefront of U.S. economic policymaking and politics at the highest levels. Most recently, he was President Trump’s White House Chief of Staff for more than a year – advising the President on politics and policy decisions. Mulvaney also served as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, managing and executing the President’s policy, budget, management, and regulatory objectives across the Executive Branch. For part of his tenure at the OMB, he additionally ran the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where he got a first-hand look at one of the most powerful, and controversial, federal regulators. After the White House, Mulvaney served as United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland, where he focused on growing the region’s economic opportunities.

Prior to his work in the Trump Cabinet, Mulvaney was elected to the United States Congress representing South Carolina’s 5th District, defeating the state’s longest-serving U.S. congressman, 14-term Democrat John M. Spratt Jr., in 2011. He served three succeeding terms until his resignation to join the Trump Administration in February 2017. While in Congress, Mulvaney served on the Financial Services, Small Business, Oversight/Government Reform, Budget, and Joint Economic Committees.
