Michelle Bowman
Michelle White "Miki" Bowman (born May 25, 1971) is an American attorney who has served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since 2018. She is the first person to fill the community bank seat on the board, a seat created by a 2015 law.
Previously, Bowman was the Kansas banking commissioner, from January 2017 through November 2018. She also held senior staff positions at the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Department of Homeland Security during the George W. Bush administration.
After seven years as a Federal Reserve board member, President Trump nominated Bowman to succeed Michael Barr as Vice Chair for Supervision of the board, a position she was confirmed for in early June 2025. In that position, she launched a substantial deregulatory push of the U.S. banking sector.
Bowman was born in 1971 in Hawaii to John Hale White and Martha Jayne. Her paternal grandparents were Carlene (née Gufler) and Clarence Hale White (1908–1993), a longtime bank executive at the Farmers & Drovers Bank in Council Grove, Kansas and he was the third generation in a prominent Kansas dynasty of bankers founded by William Henry White.
When she was young, her family moved frequently because of her father’s career in the U.S. Air Force. She lived much of her youth in Illinois, near St. Louis, and graduated from high school in Council Grove, Kansas. Her family owns the Farmers & Drovers Bank, one of the oldest banks in Kansas.
Bowman graduated from the University of Kansas in Lawrence with a Bachelor of Science degree in Advertising and Journalism. She then earned a Juris Doctor from Washburn University School of Law in Topeka, graduating in 1996.
Bowman worked as an intern for Senator Bob Dole from 1995 to 1996. Between 1997 and 2002, she served as a counsel to the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and then as counsel to the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight.
In 2002, Bowman was appointed by President George W. Bush as Director of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In 2003, when the Department of Homeland Security was established, she became a Deputy Assistant Secretary and Policy Advisor to Secretary Tom Ridge.
