Cordray Will Step Down from Consumer Post

November 15, 2017 at 1:22 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Richard Cordray, the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said that he would leave the agency this month,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Cordray, a Democrat and a holdover from the Obama administration, was appointed to a five-year term that was to end in July 2018. He was widely expected to step down before then to run for governor in Ohio, his home state.”
