Incoming House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill has announced the appointment of Ben Johnson as the new Staff Director of the committee. Johnson brings nearly a decade of experience in the U.S. House of Representatives to his new role.

Previously, Johnson served as Staff Director for the House Small Business Committee, where he managed staff and advanced priorities for Chairman Roger Williams. Before that, he handled financial services portfolios for Rep. Roger Williams and Rep. Steve Pearce.

Chairman Hill expressed confidence in Johnson's abilities, stating, "I have known Ben throughout my decade in Congress and have watched his impressive career progress. From his early days managing the financial services portfolios of Rep. Williams and Rep. Pearce to his most recent role as Staff Director on the House Small Business Committee, Ben possesses a deep understanding of American businesses, families, and seniors having access to business capital, mortgage credit, and investment advice and services."

Hill further noted that Johnson's legislative knowledge will make him an "outstanding Staff Director" for the committee.
