Few people are as familiar with Washington, DC, from the inside, as Mr. Mulvaney. In the last decade he served in more and varied positions than likely any other person. He managed the White House as Chief-of-Staff to the President during both an impeachment and the first days of the Coronavirus pandemic. As the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and a Cabinet Member he oversaw the broadest deregulatory initiative in 40 years and managed the longest government shutdown in history. He also served as Acting Director of one of the most controversial federal regulators, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His final post was as Ambassador and Special Envoy to Northern Ireland during the height of Brexit, a position he resigned the night of the January 6 riots.
Prior to his executive branch service he was elected four times to the United States House of Representatives, where, amongst other things, he co-founded the Freedom Caucus and the Blockchain Caucus. He also served in the SC House and Senate.
He is a frequent media commentator both in the US and overseas. He is a political and economic contributor to NewsNation and SkyNews Australia, and writes a weekly column for The Hill newspaper. He appears regularly on CNBC, Bloomberg and the BBC, as well as CNN, CBS, and FoxBusiness. His work has been published in the Wall Street Journal and USAToday.
Prior to public service, he worked in various roles: lawyer, real estate developer, restaurant owner/operator and franchisor, and homebuilder.
He is currently the co-Chairman of Actum Strategic Advisers, and serves as an adviser to the Digital Chamber of Commerce and the Swiss technology firm, Astra Enterprise, Inc.
He is married to Pam. They have 24-year-old triplets, and live in South Carolina.
