Johanns Statement on Nomination of Janet Yellen

U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, today issued the following statement on the nomination of Janet Yellen to serve as the next chair of the Federal Reserve:

“Our economy is in a different place than it was in 2010 when Ms. Yellen was confirmed as Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve. While her resume is notable, the Banking Committee has a duty to hold a thorough hearing on her nomination for this important position. I will pay careful attention to Ms. Yellen’s views on what role she believes the Fed should play as we continue working to strengthen our economy.”
