Senate Sets June 25 Hearing For NCUA Nominee John Crews
By CU Today Staff —
WASHINGTON--The Senate Banking Committee has scheduled a June 25 confirmation hearing for John Crews, President Trump's nominee to serve on the National Credit Union Administration board, setting in motion what sources say could lead to a Senate floor vote as early as July.
Crews, who was nominated by Trump in May to serve a term expiring Aug. 2, 2031, is listed by the committee as "Member Designate" and will appear before lawmakers alongside nominees for chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and inspector general at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
As CUToday.info previously reported, Crews' nomination is viewed as a key step toward reshaping the NCUA board and ultimately replacing Chairman Kyle Hauptman, whose board term expired in August 2025 but who has remained in office pending confirmation of a successor. Earlier this year, Hauptman was appointed to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and has said he intends to remain at NCUA until a replacement is confirmed.
According to sources familiar with the process, Senate Banking Committee rules prohibit an immediate committee vote following the hearing. However, staff members are exploring options to expedite consideration and report the nomination to the full Senate, potentially positioning Crews for an early July floor vote. If confirmed, Crews would join the NCUA board at a pivotal time as the agency advances a broad deregulatory agenda, considers stablecoin-related proposals and awaits action on several high-profile rulemakings affecting credit unions.
The June 25 hearing comes one day after NCUA's scheduled June 24 board meeting, which could be the last public board meeting chaired by Hauptman before the Senate acts on Crews' nomination. Items on that agenda include regulatory updates, the first-quarter 2026 Share Insurance Fund report and a mid-year budget update.
