Kraninger’s disposition appears very nearly the inverse of Mulvaney’s. If he’s the self-styled “right wing nutjob” ready to blow up the organization and every thing near it, Kraninger provides good rhetoric — she says she really wants to “empower” consumers — and results in being an amiable technocrat. At 44, she’s a former science that is political — with levels from Marquette University and Georgetown Law School — and has now invested her job into the federal bureaucracy, with a number of jobs within the Transportation and Homeland protection departments and lastly in OMB, where she worked under Mulvaney. (In an meeting together with her university alumni relationship, she hailed her Jesuit education and cited Pope Francis as her “dream dinner guest.”) In her own past jobs, Kraninger had budgeting that is extensive, but none in customer finance. The CFPB declined requests that are multiple make Kraninger designed for an interview and directed ProPublica and WNYC to her general public responses and speeches.
