The Senate on Friday confirmed John Crews to a seat on the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board for a term that will continue through August. 2, 2031.
Crews has served as Treasury’s deputy assistant secretary for financial institutions policy. He will succeed Kyle Hauptman, whose term on the NCUA Board expired in August 2025, and is expected to be designated the agency board’s chairman.
Crews was previously a policy advisor to House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), covering economic and financial services policy, according to information released by Treasury last June. Before that, he was policy director for the Senate Banking Committee, it said, and served in the first Trump administration at the National Economic Council as a special assistant to the president for economic policy. Crews graduated from Princeton University, it said.
Hauptman, a Republican, is currently the only sitting NCUA Board member since the April 2025 firing by the president of Democratic agency board members Todd Harper (also a former chairman) and Tanya Otsuka. The two have sued to regain their seats. Meanwhile, Hauptman, whose board term expired Aug. 2, 2025, is serving on the board in a holdover capacity.
Hauptman has also been named to the board of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCOAB). The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the appointment in January, noting that Hauptman will serve a term ending Oct. 24, 2029.
